The Jordan Strategy Forum talked about Jordan’s ranking in the index, saying that if you look at the factors which contributed in Jordan getting this low score and ranking, “we find that the difficulty in having financial facilities was the most prominent factor out of all, in addition to companies not providing training programmes for their employees”.
