Jordan’s Cabinet approved incentives and exemptions for automobile manufacturing and assembly in the Zarqa Development Zone, linked to investment size, local manufacturing and jobs for Jordanians. In an Oct. 8 report, Petra quoted Amman Chamber of Industry President Fathi Jaghbir as saying the package could help broaden the country’s industrial base and attract high-value investment.
Jaghbir said automotive investment could connect local engineering, electrical, metal, plastics, rubber and chemical industries to supply chains. Vehicle and component exports were also described as a potential benefit; the report did not announce realized production, investment or export results. It said incentives could cover energy costs, land, logistics services and taxation.
