(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN - The Department of Statistics (DoS) announced on Thursday that the value of national exports to the EU increased in January to JD37 million, compared with JD23 million for the same month last year, driven by an increase in Jordanian exports to The Netherlands, totalling JD13 million.
National exports to the Greater Arab Free Trade Area also increased by 2.4 per cent in January, amounting to JD210 million, compared with JD205 million in the same month of the preceding year.
