International broker opens office in Jordan, praises Kingdom’s stability

AMMAN — Hantec Markets on Thursday announced the opening of its new office in Amman at a reception hosted by the British ambassador, Edward Oakden. Oakden was joined by Hantec’s Chief Operations Officer Hayel Abu Hamdam and Hantec’s CFO Zaid Al Aqabani.

Hantec’s office in Amman will be authorised and regulated by the Jordan Securities Commission (JSC). Jordan will be the ninth country that the company has expanded into and this move sees Hantec Markets become the only international broker with a physical presence in Jordan.

Abu Hamdam explained the choice: “Jordan’s location and political stability provides us access to attractive neighbouring markets, as well as the market in Jordan.

”Ambassador Oakden added that “the financial services sector is one of the most robust and mature in Jordan, remaining resilient in the face of significant external volatility and retaining its role as a driver of economic growth”.
