Few topics can be more important than the commercial environment of any particular country.
At the end of the day, trade, investment and economic activity of all types hinge on this environment. If it is supportive, businesses will grow and prosper. If it is cumbersome and bureaucratic, local entrepreneurs as well as foreign investors will channel their resources elsewhere. That future will be determined in a large part by Jordan's ability to promote an environment in which jobs are created, investments are made, and business flourishes. Historical experience worldwide suggests that governments are more effective when they facilitate economic opportunity rather than try to manage or control it.
