List of companies of Jordan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Location of Jordan

Jordan is an Arab kingdom in Western Asia, on the East Bank of the Jordan River. Jordan is classified as a country of "high human development" with an "upper middle income" economy. The Jordanian economy, one of the smallest economies in the region, is attractive to foreign investors based upon a skilled workforce.[1] The country is a major tourist destination, and also attracts medical tourism due to its well developed health sector.[2] Nonetheless, a lack of natural resources, large flow of refugees and regional turmoil have crippled economic growth.[3]
