He added that the board is currently in contact with a number of Arab, European and Asian investors, and is also arranging meetings between potential investors and local businessmen looking for partners.
"JIB has prepared a feasibility study for 75 projects out of 150 included in the Kingdom's investment map, and also circulated the study to interested investors," added Shdeifat.
Pesaro Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman, Alberto Durde, highlighted the importance of investment in Jordan in view of its geographical location and political stability.

Through the Investment Map, projects are selected according to sectoral strength and competitive advantages across the Kingdom with industries, services and tourism priority sectors. Projects can be selected according to such criteria as sector, business model and capital size.
