Jordan Investment Board partners with Oxford Business Group to produce authoritative report

"The country witnessed approximately 6 per cent real GDP growth last year and with investment continuing to pour into Jordan and infrastructure developments to match, we believe the kingdom will continue to move forward in 2007. We want to convey this message and tell the international community that we are open for business. This publication will be a timely review of the potential opportunities in Jordan," said Dr Maen Nsour, CEO of JIB.

The report will cover all aspects of economic development in the Kingdom ranging from banking to telecoms and IT. "This is an interesting time to be in Jordan. As the kingdom continues its privatisation and diversification programme, with many real estate and tourism projects in the pipeline, OBG is looking forward to producing its most extensive publication on the country yet," said Abby Lindenberg, OBG Country Director.

The review will provide corporate investors with accurate and comprehensive information on the macro-economic climate in the country. It will also highlight the investment opportunities in Jordan as well as the development strategy of the kingdom.

JIB will offer OBG strategic assistance in the compilation of their research. According to Lindenberg the partnership will give their research the inside edge, "We recognise the value of our partnership with a leading professional local body and believe that the link allows our partners to achieve their goals of enhancing international investment opportunities in the country as our annuals are considered to be among the most prestigious economic intelligence publications available."

This is the fifth year that OBG have compiled a report on Jordan giving them a solid grounding in the political and economic developments of the kingdom. Written by a team of seasoned international analysts based in the country for six months, the publication is widely anticipated. 'The Report: Emerging Jordan 2007' will be launched in September and is expected to exceed last year's subscription levels of 37,000 copies.
