Jordan.. Joyful News

In recent days, a set of economic and developmental indicators emerged that provide real room for optimism, starting with the foreign reserves at the Central Bank of Jordan, which rose to about $28.5 billion by the end of September, an increase of nearly $3 billion, and 11.7% compared to the end of last year.

In the business sector, the number of registered companies during the first nine months of the year increased to 6,046 companies, a 7.24% increase over the same period last year, while the registered capital exceeded 201 million dinars, and the increase in capital also approached one billion dinars for the second consecutive year, an indicator reflecting the continuation of investment and business establishment despite the challenges.

In the real estate market, the trading volume in September increased by 16% compared to the same month last year, reaching about 720.5 million dinars, while apartment sales increased by 17%, and more importantly, the value of non-Jordanian ownership during the first nine months increased by 17%, reaching about 168.3 million dinars.

Also among the important news is the start of the implementation phase of the Aqaba-Shidiyeh-Ma'an railway project, a strategic project that can enhance the transport and logistics system and connect production areas with ports and markets, thereby supporting Jordan's ability to benefit from its geographical location.

In the public spending file, the government's announced measures to rationalize the travel of officials and official delegations have contributed to saving about 3 million dinars for the treasury so far, with the expected savings reaching 4 million dinars by the end of the year, and the figure may not be large compared to the size of the budget, but it reflects the importance of rationalizing spending and enhancing the efficiency of public money management.

Of course, these numbers do not mean that all challenges are over, as Jordan still has economic, living, and employment files that need continuous solutions, but optimism does not mean ignoring difficulties, and the presence of challenges should not make us ignore the progress being made.

In conclusion, these indicators confirm that we have an economy with the resilience and opportunities worth building upon; the increase in reserves, the growth of companies and capital, the movement of investment, strategic projects, and the rationalization of spending are not just numbers, but tools that can be transformed into growth, job opportunities, and added value felt by the citizen.
