Businessmen invite premier to discussion over competitiveness report

AMMAN — Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour will on Wednesday attend the launch ceremony of a study prepared by the Amman Chamber of Commerce (ACC) dubbed “The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in International Competitiveness Reports: Facts and Aspirations”.

The report sheds light on the competitiveness of different sectors in the Kingdom and ways to enhance them, an ACC statement said.

ACC President Issa Murad said the timing of the study is important, in light of Jordan maintaining its ranking in the 2015 Global Competitiveness Report, in comparison with the 2014 report, where Jordan ranked 64 at the international level.

The World Economic Forum’s report is considered an annual evaluation of factors enhancing productivity in the economies of more than 140 countries.
