EMBASSY OF THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN

NEW DELHI

JORDAN AT A GLANCEentire national programs, plans, and efforts. It has proved capable over the years of shouldering its responsibilities in an efficient and effective manner, and contributed to the progress and prosperity of the national economy, and managed to meet the needs throughout the past decades. The private sector’s role and importance in and to the economic activity has been expanded after most countries around the world started implementing economic reform policies and programs on the basis of reducing the state role in the direct economic and investment activity and limiting such role to regulating the market and its different mechanisms. Thus the state has encouraged the private sector to play an important role in the economic activity and to lead economic growth in a civilized manner commensurate with the international developments and changes.

Different economic sectors and associat-ions in the public and private sectors (with an active participation on the part of the Chambers of Commerce) have over the past years followed and implemented numerous initiatives and steps which will improve the investment climate and increase the economic growth rates in such a manner that will insure interact ion and harmony wi th the international economic developments and changes.

Besides, the Jordanian private sector has been playing a major role in supplying the Kingdom’s needs for goods and services, reducing the poverty and unemployment problems, improving Jordan’s economic relations with the different countries around the world and make the best use of the investment opportunities available in order to increase the Jordanian exports abroad and open new markets for them. Above all, the Jordanian private sector plays a unique role in promoting Jordan as hub for investment.

The continued success of reform in the different economic, financial, and legislative fields yielded further influx of the foreign direct for investment which is expected to c o n t i n u e s t e a d i l y i n t h e forthcoming years. The size of projects which benefited from the Investment Encouragement Law during the year 2012 reached around JD 1614.3 million (USD 2273.6 million). Apparently, there is an increasing interest on the part of Arab and foreign investors in the Kingdom owing to the advantages and feasible returns which such investment law provides along with security, stability, and free transfer of funds and profits abroad.

Foreign trade in both directions continued to show significant growth ,as Jordan’s overall foreign trade in 2013 reached around (JD 21140.1) million, (USD 29774.7) million, compared to (JD 20333.2 ) million, ( USD 28638.3) million, ( i.e. a 4% increase) in 2012.

Jordan is a Kingdom ruled by H.R.M. King Abdulla II, the successor of His Late Father King Hussain.

Ruling Regime : Parliamentary with hereditary monarchy .

Population : 6.388 million

Climate : Is warm and dry in summer, moderate and wet in winter.

Economic System : It's a Market oriented economy .

The Size of the : GDP in 2012 is estimated at JD 21,965.5 million or US$

Economy : 30,980 million .

Resources : - Several natural resources ; phosphate and potash are the most important ones .

- Abundant skilled human resources and several tourism sights.

Currency : Jordan Dinar, which equals US $ 1.4104, is fully convertible.

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan managed over the past few decades to realize numerous economic, investment and development achievements in the various economic, social and cultural fields at all levels and in all areas. The Kingdom also managed to provide the requirements and elements needed for Jordan’s progress and economic prosperity. T h o s e re q u i re m e nt s a re b a s e d o n consolidating security and stability of all forms, adopting the principles of free enterprise and openness to the world, successful implementation of economic reforms, and completing the infrastructure facilities needed for the success of the economic activities. In fact, Jordan has been able to build and provide a well-integrated network of infrastructure facilities such as roads, transportation, communications, water, energy, airports and sea ports along with a well-trained and skilled manpower, sophisticated banking system and other basic elements and requirements needed for comprehensive growth.

The investment climate in Jordan is marked by security and stability and is based on several modern laws and legislations which are in line with the international changes and developments especially foreign investment. There are, however, many success stories in the field of investment in the Kingdom which have been launched by investors from the Asian and European countries. These include investments in the Qualified Industrial Zones which export their products to the American market without any customs duties or quota restrictions. Most of these investments are in the field of textiles and garments in which, we believe, Turkey has expertise and know-how. There are other investments in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone, industrial estates, free, special and development zones. The non-Jordanian investor enjoys the same advantages and incentives as those of the Jordanian investor. Moreover, Jordan is a member of several Free Trade Agreements along with the United States of America, European Union, States of the European Association for Free Exchange, Greater Free Arab Trade Area, and a Free Trade Agreements with Singapore, Canada and Turkey.

The Jordanian private sector and its institutions and sectors represent a key and important partner for the government in the

J o r d a n h a s s t a r t e d undertaking preparations for the upcoming visit of Pope Francis to Jordan, the first visit since his election as head of the Catholic Church. The visit is scheduled for May 24, 2014 ; Royal visit has been u n d e r t a k e n b y H i s Majesty King Abdullah II to the Vatican on August 2013 and his meeting with the head of the Catholic Church, His Holiness Pope Francis. Such visits further solidifies cooperation and cordial relations between t h e t w o f r i e n d l y countries.

Our Royal Court official spokesman said that the King's warm welcome, as revealed in the statement issued by the Royal Court, expresses the joy the Jordanian Christians and Muslims feel for the visit of the grand guest, His Holiness the Pope, who accepted the invitation of the King and the local churches.

Official relations began in 1994, and together the two states have worked

on promoting dialogue and understanding between the followers of Islam and Christ ianity. & relat ions assists in determination the strengthen concepts of love and harmony among nations, and to bring peace to the peoples and countries of the Middle East.

Pope Francis' visit to Jordan will include visiting the historical Baptismal Site of Jesus Christ. There, His Holiness will stand by the waters of the Jordan River and visit in the Baptism Church which is adjacent to the river. He will also meet patients, people with disabilities, as well as Syrian and Iraqi

refugees at the Latin Church in the Baptismal Site where he will speak with them and get acquainted with the efforts undertaken by the Kingdom to provide them with the necessary services that preserve their honor and dignity.

More than 1,000 journalists are expected to be present to provide media coverage of the two-day visit of Pope Francis ; Moreover the Mass to be celebrated at the Amman International Stadium in Al Hussein Sports City is expected to be attended by more than 50,000 people.

Pope Francis and His Majesty King Abdullah II were keen to address the region's most prominent issues during their meeting, namely the Palestinian-Israeli issue, with the aim of hammering out a solution satisfactory to all parties, and Syrian crisis. They stressed d ia logue and negot iat ions between all the components of Syrian society--with the support of the international community--and expressed that this dialogue is the only option to put an end to the conflict and the violence that causes huge losses of life every day.

Three Popes have visited Jordan in the past: Pope Paul VI in 1964, Pope John Paul II in 2000, and Pope Benedict XVI in 2009. Pope Francis will be paying the fourth visit.

The statement concluded that it is a great coincidence that the royal visit to the Vatican and the upcoming Papal visit to Jordan match's with the tenth anniversary of the launching of the historic “Amman Message” that was launched by His Majesty King Abdullah II as this message concepts is calling for violence and intolerance abandonment , as well as for strengthening the spirit of love and harmony between followers of all religions.

CHEMICALS AND ALLIED

PRODUCTS SECTOR

The Chemical Process Industry is currently producing Mineral fertilizers, industrial chemicals; Petroleum products (fuels, lubricants) and Cement, paints, adhesives and more.

Current Resource Based Industries:

The phosphate / potash industries are evolving from mining / extraction industries that export phosphate rock and potash into vertically integrated organizations that are increasingly adding value to local production by manufactur ing and export ing : phosphor ic ac id , d iammonium phosphate, bromine, and aluminum fluoride.

Oil Refining Industry: The national oil products market was liberalized in March 2008. JPRC has made plans to develop capabilities and expand capacity to meet both growth in sales and changes in demand away from heavy fuel oil. As the refinery expansion plans are well advanced, the industry is not further analyzed.

Other Mineral Resource Industries: Cement is the largest, with general demand being met from current and planned developments. High grade silica is a notable new addition to Jordan's mineral resources and provided opportunities for Jordan to expand into new chemical process industries.

Strengths :

• Jordan possesses significant mineral resources that are or could be the basis for several downstream chemical industry clusters: phosphate, potash, silica, and uranium among others.

• Several of the mineral deposits have high levels of purity that facilitate processing to high value added products

Opportunities

• Further processing of already established mineral extraction products: Glass manufacture and silicon manufacture from silica.

• Processes to make high value metals: Copper and uranium.

• Phosphate Industry Replication: Jordan's phosphate reserves are extensive & much greater than reported internationally and / or currently covered by licenses. Global demand is forecast to continue growing, particularly in Asia, which Jordan is well placed to service. The potential exists to create a second organization to help prove and exploit untapped phosphate reserves and to invite new investors into Jordan to work with Government proxies to realize the opportunity.

• Magnesium Plant Restructuring Project: Restructure JORMAG's magnesium plant from production of refractory grade product to production of feedstock for export to magnesium metal manufacturers.

• Production of Light Cement: Utilization of Jordan's naturally occurring zeolites for the production of

specialist light cements.

• Manufacture of silicon from silica: Development of silica mining and processing in the last 2 years provides high grade silica that could be feedstock for manufacture of silicon to meet escalating demand from the photo-voltaic industry.

• High quality float glass plant: The quality of silica now being produced provides an opportunity to start a high quality float glass plant.

• Uranium Processing: Utilizing local deposits as the resource base.

• Copper Processing: Processing local production to intermediate stage for sale to final processors (electrolytic plants).

CONSTRUCTION AND

BUILDING MATERIALS

HEALTH CARE AND

MEDICAL SERVICES

Accord ing to the Arab Wor ld Competitiveness Report 2005, Jordan is the top ranking Arab country in terms of healthcare scoring 6.4 in terms of healthcare and primary education in the Arab world in 2007. The Jordanian government spends around 6.1% of its GDP on healthcare with a commitment to reform regulations and provision requirements and foster further privatization in the industry, paving the way for additional modernization and development in the industry.

Growing joint venture partnerships between the public and private sectors are a major stimulant to new investment in healthcare services and infrastructure.

Competitive Advantages

Growing demand for medical

Fueled by the young and growing population of Jordan. Jordan's population is growing at a rate of 3%

annually due to the high fertility rate of 3.7, and the declining infant mortality rate of 22 per 1000. Life expectancy is higher in Jordan than in most developing countries, averaging 71.3 years due to the rising standards of medical services coupled with higher standards of living.

Additionally two important demand generators in the Jordanian medical

industry are incoming immigrants seeking Jordan's comparatively higher standard of living and medical tourism. The national economy is receiving massive injections in developmental capacity and revenue due to the medical tourism sector. The said growth in the sector is arguably due to the correct publicly held perception of Jordan as a supplier of high quality healthcare services in the current market at competitive or below market prices.

In essence this implies that Jordan is increasingly becoming a more popular destination for the provision of medical services outsourcing. A position that as prices for medical care continue to rise meteorically in the west implies our

cost effectiveness in similar quality service provision strengthens the national position furthermore (Please rewrite!). Jordan's entry into the international medical tourism market has been relevantly recent with several medium to large hospitals breaking ground and starting formal programs with more to follow.

ICT SECTOR

Jordan's ICT landscape provides a case study in what it takes to succeed in the internat iona l market p lace- a combination of sound policy, strong telecom infrastructure and growing talent. Jordan's main strengths are in its all-digital network, skilled labor force and strong government backing including the personal support of HM King Abdallah II.

Jordan was the first country in the Arab world to have a fully liberalized telecommunication market and has modernized 75 percent of its ICT related laws, improving the business environment for local and international investors. Jordan also led the region by establishing the first independent telecommunications regulatory body to create a fair, transparent, and competitive investment environment.

ICT is a booming Sector

• It is the fastest growing sector in Jordan expanding by 50% per year.

• Jordan produces some ground breaking start-ups that often expand globally.

• ITO and BPO operations are expected to Global 500 and Fortune 100 IT spending – these companies are trend setters for industry worldwide and some have already screened the Jordanian market.

• Small and Medium Sized Companies in the IT market are now increasing their spend on IT services including outsourcing.

• Offshore outsourcing is a global

mega trend.

• Banks and f inancial services considered to be amongst the fastest growing IT sectors due to the demand for 24 hr. service.

Modern and reliable ICT infrastructure

• Fiber-Optic Link Around the Globe (FLAG) network, WAP, GPRS.

• Strong private-public partnership and government support to advance the infrastructure development.

• Jordan ranked 47th out of 127 countries in the ICT readiness index (2007-2008).

MINERALS AND

PROCESSING

Abundance of natural resources

• Mining and processing in Jordan is mainly non-metallic minerals of which p h o s p h a t e a n d p o t a s h a r e internationally significant industries. The products from extraction of potash and mining of phosphate are increasingly being transformed into chemicals and exported.

• Jordan possesses significant mineral resources that are or could be the basis for several downstream chemical industry clusters: phosphate, potash, silica, and uranium, and copper among others.

• Mineral extraction industries also include calcium carbonate (for cement manufacture), building stones (e.g. traventine) and ornamental stones such as granite and marble, silica (for glass making etc…) and many more.

Numerous minerals have been found in Jordan. Some are abundant (oil shale and basalt), while others pose a huge m a r ke t p o t e n t i a l fo r f i n d i n g commercial reserves.

• Mineral manufacturing industries include: fertilizers, chemical acids, cement, ceramic, cosmetics, rock wool and lime and silicate bricks. The main industries within this part are: fertilizers and chemical acids.

• Several high value metals have high market potential– notably: uranium, tin, copper,& nickel. When both market and resource considerations are combined, the most likely minerals for investment and development are uranium and copper. Others, such as zircon are considered to have some commercial potential while others such as tin have only been discovered as trace amounts.

• Oil shale is one of the most abundant resources in Jordan (over 50 billion tons of geological reserves).

• Several of the mineral deposits have high levels of purity that facilitate processing to high value added products.

Tourism is predicted to remain the fastest growing sector globally for the next two decades. In Jordan the tourism industry is realizing 10%- 12% sustained annual growth owing to several factors:

Jordan's location and rich cultural heritage assets, holy sites, stability and security, pleasurable climate and majestic nature, bustling business center, natural wonders, family and leisure tailored facilities. Not to m e nt i o n t h e we l l m a i nta i n e d infrastructure, including well trained

multi-lingual staff employed with guide companies, restaurants, international hotels , t ransportat ion, tour ist transport, and car rental services. Moreso, tourist centric regulations are available.

Nexus and strategic location: As the crossroads at the heart of the Middle East, the land of Jordan has served as a strategic nexus connecting Asia, Africa, and Europe. Since the dawn of civilization, Jordan's geography has given it an important role to play as a conduit for trade and communications, connecting east to west, north to south. Jordan continues to play the same vital role today with the advancements made in its modern transportation network and visitation policies.

Safety & Security: According to the Global Competitiveness Report 2007-2008 issued by the World Economic Forum Jordan ranked 9th out of 131 in terms of prevention of organized crime and 14th out of 131 countries around the world in the reliability of police services. Tourism sites are well monitored and secured by the police and public safety services, ensuring every care is taken in the protection of the Kingdom's visitors. Hospitals are well equipped with a high standard of training and qualification for doctors and emergency services.

Climate and Adventurous Geography: For those who love outdoor life, Jordan presents a temperate climate, clear skies and low humidity. The favorable weather allows for plenty of outdoor activities especially in the diverse ecosystem. Activities such as hiking, camping, canyoning, and trekking, mountain-biking, scuba diving have become available; in magnificent areas such as Madaba, Petra, Karak, Wadi Rum, Aqaba, Dana, Feynan, and the Jordan Valley. Today the strikingly beautiful landscape is no longer just intended as scenery. In recent years the global market for alternative holidays and adventure tourism has grown and Jordan's capabilities have risen to the challenge of meeting this growth. Today multiple opportunities are available to investors and entrepreneurs of vision giving them the tools and raw materials

to forge what they have always imagined into reality.

Growing at a rate of 18% per year, adventure travel continues to be the fastest growing alternative for tourism.

Rich Cultural and Heritage Tourism: Jordan has a wealth of archaeological and natural sites that are landmarks of human heritage dating back to the prehistoric Paleolithic and Neolithic periods with surviving archaeological evidence of human settlement from the Middle and Late Bronze Ages such as the Shashu built citadel of Amman.

Jordan witnessed a series of civilizations and historical eras from Hellenistic to Nabatean, Romans, Greek Christendom and Byzantines; and profound Islamic period lined by Umayyad, Abbasid, Fatimid, Mamluk and the Ottoman dynasties. Jordan was a major centre of importance

throughout all three crusades for both sides, a place where for however briefly, medieval European culture survived and thrived, leaving it's mark upon the natives to this day. Jordan was

also the location where some of the greatest battles were fought in the crusade period, battles where the scope and form of the medieval world were shaped by generals such as Salahuddin Al-Tikriti, and Richard the lion heart of Robin Hood fame. In more modern history , Jordan was home to the roots of the Great Arab Revolt led by the Hashemite Sherif Hussein Bin Ali, the Sherif of Mecca and King of Arabs to the present Hashemite rule led by His Majesty King Abdallah II. They left a kaleidoscope of treasures from the rose-red city of Petra, to the stunning visages of Jerash, the Roman coliseum, desert castles, and many many more.

In an attempt to diversify the country's tourism package, the government launched a $70m. Program to beautify and restore five cities of great cultural and historical value: Kerak, Madaba, Salt, Jerash and Ajlun.

Biblical and Holy Land: Jordan is blessed with a rich religious history sacred to each of the monotheistic religions. It is the land and river of baptism, land of innumerable Prophets from Jesus, Moses, Aaron, Kadir, Jethro, Job, Joshua, and the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh). Many of these are known to have died and been buried in Jordan, including Moses (on Mount Nebo), Aaron (on Mount Hor, near Petra), Jethro (in Wadi Shu'ayb, near Salt), Joshua (in Salt) and John (in Mkawer).

Jordan is steeped with Islamic sites such as the cave of sleepers. Sacred sites from Amman to Mount Nebo, where Moses first laid eyes on Canaan, the Promised Land to the Jordan River were Jesus was baptized. Additionally other wonders exist off the beaten path such

the 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land in Madaba. This map holds itself in a place of distinction as one of the oldest and largest surviving maps in the world.

TRANSPORTATION SECTOR

Transportation infrastructure along road, rail and air links is well developed. Various plans to achieve these improvements are at an advanced stage.

The transportation sector accounts for more than 10% of Jordan's GDP. It is growing at an annual rate of 6%.The government developed a national transport strategy to upgrade the country's infrastructure, and enable Jordan to capitalize on its natural geographical advantages.

India’s relationship with Jordan has

always been characterized by warmth

and goodwill based on mutual respect.

The two countries signed their first

bilateral agreement for cooperation

and friendly relations in 1947, which

was formalised in 1950 when the two

countries established full-fledged

diplomatic ties.

Our interaction with Jordan in

multilateral fora, particularly under

UN’s framework has fostered better

understanding on mutual concerns

and priorities. Jordan had extended its

support for India’s candidature for a

non-permanent seat in the UN

Security Council for the term 2011-12.

The landmark State visit of His Majesty

King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein and Her

Majesty Queen Rania to India in

December 2006 provided an excellent

opportunity for exchange of views on

all aspects of our bilateral relations.

During the visit, a number of bilateral

agreements were signed.

His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin

Talal paid a visit to India during

October-November 2012.

Foreign Office Consultations between

India and Jordan were held on 1st

April, 2014, in Amman after a gap of

over eight years. Shri Anil Wadhwa,

Secretary [East led the Indian

delegat ion and the Jordanian

delegation was headed by Mr.

Mohammad Taisir Masadeh, Secretary

General in the Ministry of Foreign

Affairs and Expatriate Affairs of the

Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Both

sides held constructive discussions on

the entire gamut of bilateral relations,

especially in the fields of politics,

defence, security, economy, energy

and culture. During the visit, Shri

Wadhwa also held talks with Mr.

INDIA-JORDAN BILATERAL TRADE RELATIONSHatem Halawani, Minister for Industry,

Trade & Supply and Minister for

I n f o r m a t i o n C o m m u n i c a t i o n

Technology and Mr. Nasser Judeh,

Minister for Foreign Affairs &

Expatriate Affairs separately. The visit

was widely covered by the local print

media.

Bilateral Trade

India-Jordan trade is governed by an

agreement signed in 1976. A Trade and

Economic Joint Committee constituted

under the Agreement promote and

monitor the progress. Over the years,

bilateral trade has grown rapidly

despite global economic downturn.

Balance of trade was in favour of

Jordan during the last few years for

reasons of massive imports of

phosphate and potash by India.

However, two-way trade in 2013

registered US $ 1.61 billion as against

US $ 1.43 billion in 2012 with balance

of trade significantly shifted in favour

of India for the first time.. A successful

cooperation in fertilizer sector

between the two countries exists. A

Joint venture project worth US$ 850

million between the Jordan Phosphate

Mines Company (JPMC) and the Indian

Farmers Fertilisers Cooperative

( IFFCO) for manufactur ing of

Phosphoric Acid set up in Eshidiya in

October 2009 is scheduled for

commercial operation in May 2014.

The quantum of bilateral trade

between India and Jordan soared to

US$ 1.8 billion in 2008 as compared to

US$570 million in 2006. In 2008, India

was Jordan’s largest export partner

and ninth largest import partner.

Subsequently, in 2009, there was slight

decline in trade turnover between the

two countries registering the volume

of trade at a value of US£983 million

only. Various factors such as global

economic slowdown, decline in the

international price of phosphates and

also on huge trade growth in the

previous year could be attributed for

the decline. Trade volume once again

picked up in subsequent years i.e.

2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013

respectively. Details of trade volume

are tabulated below:

In d ia imp o rts fer t i l i zers ,

phosphates, phosphoric acid etc

from Jordan and exports electrical

machinery, cereals, frozen meat,

organic and inorganic chemicals,

aircraft and its parts thereof, animal

fodders, engineering goods etc.

Possibilities for joint ventures in the

fields of leather, automobile parts, IT,

pharmaceuticals and construction

materials can be explored. Jordan

Investment Board (JIB) is actively

pursuing to attract Indian investments

in Jordan especially in ICT, Financial

Services and Bio-medical services

sectors.
