KARAK — The new investment law includes mechanisms, procedures and authorisations that encourage investors to consider Al Hussein Industrial Estate in Karak for their projects, Industry, Trade and Supply Minister Maha Ali said Thursday.

During a visit to the estate, Karak Chamber of Commerce and the Civil Consumer Corporation in the governorate, she added the law did not include any changes on incentives to ensure attracting more investments that provide more jobs to local workforce.

The minister indicated that the Jordan Enterprise Development Corporation has implemented 56 development schemes in Karak, some 140 kilometres south of Amman, during the past six years, and that the Governorate Development Fund implemented 21 projects that were financed with JD14 million.

Ali said that there is an intention to invest in the solar energy sector to reduce the costs of using energy in the Kingdom.
