Foreign Direct Investment Incentives: The Case of Jordan
$ 89.5
Description
There are many factors that influence and determine the level of foreign direct investment (FDI) in a certain country. Investment incentives, other things being equal, are effective in attracting FDI and altering the foreign direct investment location decision if, and only if, they are properly introduced and well administered. However, incentives (government promotional policies) may be negated by other regulatory policies often adopted regarding foreign investment.
The Jordanian government has striven, for decades, to attract foreign investments. The government has undertaken many changes and amendments to the laws and regulations pertinent to foreign investments. However, the level of foreign investment in Jordan is still negligible, compared with the government’s aspirations and desires.
