JCC voices alarm over challenges facing business sector

AMMAN — Members of the Board of Directors of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce (JCC) and representatives of trade sectors on Monday voiced alarm at the challenges and obstacles facing the Kingdom’s business sector.

The issues related to the national trade window, in addition to the “unclear vision” for procedures during the fasting month of Ramadan, as well as the private-public partnership, mail packages and multiplicity of regulatory authorities, have come on top of trade sector’s challenges, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

Speaking during a virtual meeting, the gathering stressed that the Kingdom’s economic conditions cannot afford further lockdowns. They also called for a balanced strategy, one that considers the economic and health issues alike, to alleviate any negative impact of the pandemic.
