AMMAN: Participants at the 7th Jordan Afaq Economic Forum, which began on Tuesday, called for setting up a free trade zone in Amman to facilitate legal procedures for investors.
Economy and finance experts as well as representatives of companies stressed the importance of activating the economic sector through training and developing human resources and regulations that match the present circumstances, especially the regional situation.
On the sidelines of the forum, a number of local and international economic companies are taking part in the 10th Investment and Finance Expo and Awards. Moreover, Sharif noted that although Jordan achieved a significant progress in the economic field as well as other fields, yet some procedures and laws still form an obstacle for many investors in Jordan, like the taxes and customs.
