Jordan Approves 2026 Investment Regulation Amendments
(MENAFN) The Jordanian Cabinet, in a session chaired on Sunday by Prime Minister Jaafar Hassan, approved draft amendments to regulations governing the country’s investment environment for 2026, according to official statements.
The changes form part of the implementation framework for Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision and are designed to update the legal structure guiding investment activity. Authorities say the goal is to attract more investment, improve job creation, and support broader economic development.
The revised framework is intended to streamline existing regulations by removing overlapping provisions and standardizing key regulatory definitions in line with modern technical and economic developments. Officials say this is expected to improve clarity for investors and strengthen decision-making processes.
Minister of Investment Tariq Abu Ghazaleh said the amendments were developed based on feedback from investors and different economic sectors. He emphasized that the reforms aim to simplify administrative procedures and reduce the time required to obtain licenses and approvals, making it easier for projects to begin operations.
A key feature of the updated system is the introduction of a “License to practice economic activities subject to compliance,” which allows investment projects in development zones to begin operations based on commitments to meet regulatory requirements, followed by ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance with standards.
The reforms also expand investment incentives by easing requirements for business expansion, encouraging the adoption of modern technologies, and incorporating creative industries into the incentive framework, reflecting a broader push to modernize Jordan’s investment climate.
