The head of the Jordan and Amman Chambers of Industry, Eng. Fathi Al-Jaghbir, confirmed that the Cabinet's decision to limit government purchases to local products is a possible and supportive step for the Jordanian industry.

Jaghbir indicated, in a press statement today, Saturday, that the decision will support the competitiveness of the local product, and stimulate the industry to produce efficient and high quality. He pointed out that the Jordanian industry applies the highest standards that qualify it to compete with the best industries in the region, explaining that the factories have great potential thanks to the high investments that have been pumped to meet the requirements of local markets. Jaghbir called on the government to support the Jordanian industry in various fields, especially by applying the principle of reciprocity with the countries exporting to the Kingdom.

The Council of Ministers has amended its decision to limit the purchases of ministries and government institutions of government supplies to local industries, in the event that there are at least 3 local producers, and provided that the product meets the definition of Jordanian origin and has obtained a conformity certificate from the Standards and Metrology Organization, and that the purchases are identical Specifications and terms of purchase contained in government procurement requests.
