ACC chairman, US ambassador meet over economic ties
Chairman of the Amman Chamber of Commerce (ACC) Issa Murad held a meeting with the United States (US) Ambassador Alice Wells on Tuesday, during which they discussed ways to improve trade and economic relations between the private sectors of both countries.

The two sides looked into cooperation to establish business incubators that would participate in developing underprivileged areas and providing job opportunities, reported Petra.

During the meeting, the two sides also tackled the possibility for the US to provide support for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as programs to reduce poverty and unemployment.

The relations between Jordan and the US are strong, Murad said, adding that the US continues to support the Kingdom in various domains.

Worth noting, the US investments in the Kingdom stood at $2.2 billion representing 8% of the total foreign investments in Jordan. While, the Kingdom’s exports to the US amounted to $847 million in 2013 while imports reached $996 million.
