Trade Economy - Jordan-en
The Netherlands will strengthen links between aid, trade, and investment in key sectors such as ICT, food processing and logistics, to help drive private sector growth. Through this approach, we aim to support Jordan’s sustainable economic growth and enhance Dutch-Jordanian trade and investment relations.
Objectives of our 'Trade & Economy' programming in Jordan
The Netherlands’ support is focused on the following four goals:
Enhanced competitiveness and market access of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)
Our support will focus on strengthening value chains, promote compliance with international standards and improving digital capabilities and export readiness. Here, we will involve Dutch institutions such as CBI and the Senior Experts Program (PUM).
Strengthened start-up eco-system by fostering entrepreneurship
We will continue to support initiatives, such as Orange Corners Jordan that stimulate start-up ecosystems, promote innovation hubs, and expand incubation and acceleration programs. Enhanced access to finance for MSMEs
We will mobilize financial instruments to increase the availability of credit, equity, and blended finance solutions for small and medium enterprises, with a focus on green/blue finance and the financial inclusion of women entrepreneurs. This will be done through FMO (the Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank) and the Dutch Good Growth Fund.-
Improved business and investment environment
Our contribution will include supporting the economic reforms undertaken by the Government of Jordan with a view to enhancing the overall business and investment environment.
