Do not kidnap Jordanian character, mistakes are repeated …
Jordan reveals a better opportunity by the rise of the sanctions imposed on Syria and the increasing tone of calls for renovation.
Economic Opportunity for Jordan: Life to Northern Article
It is no secret to anyone that the Jordanian economy is facing new developmental seats. Here, the latter -War Syria emerges as a trusted place to implement our manufacturing and service sectors and open new markets for Jordanian exports, especially construction materials, pharmaceuticals, equipment and engineering services.
The reopening of border crossings, led by Jafar-Nazi Crossing, opens the door to vast transport trade, and allows the revival of the transport and logistics department, one of the pillars of the Jordanian economy before the Syrian war. Jordan can be a “safe transport base” for regional and international companies who want to enter the Syrian market.
Stock of Jordan: From political neutral to economic performance
Jordan has been maintaining a balanced state of the Syrian crisis over the past years, and has succeeded in creating political bridges with all sides. This middle floor must become the economic leadership base today, through:
Support the entry of Jordanian companies for REG Reconstruction Programs.
JOST representing Jordan at international conferences related to a partner and partner, not as a spectator.
Improving Coordination with Syrian Allies in Contract Sector, Electricity, Communication and Renewable Energy.
The neutrality that has been politically serving for Jordan over the past years will become a real economic gain today if we do better in Syria’s restructuring.
Mistakes of the past: Repeated Iraq’s experience
We need to learn from the past. The experience of Iraq’s reconstruction, launched with great slogans and quiet media conferences, has not been accomplished due to lack of planning, and the trophy protocol is left in the hands of compliments.
In order not to repeat the same mistake, Jordan’s participation must be based on a clear strategy starting from setting up the necessary priorities and sectors in the Syrian market:
Infrastructure and water.
Housing and smart cities.
• Health and education.
• logistics and energy services.
Integrated Jordanian Project: Based on National Participation Success
Today, with the participation of all components of the Jordanian government, a comprehensive national program must be launched: Government, Professional Trade Unions, Industry and Business Rooms, Banks, Private Sector and Education Officers, including the following:
Establishment of Permanent Coordination Unit for Reconstruction file in the Trade and Industry or Foreign Affairs Ministry.
Prepare the Economic Road Map that determines the areas for entering the Sy Syrian market and the most important potential projects.
The introduction of funds with the cooperation of the banks to ensure funding for the plans of the Jordanian companies.
Reg organizing the Jordanian-Siriya Forum for Reconstruction under the official funding of local and international partners.
Conclusion: A joint moment that is not repeatedly made
Talking about Syria’s reconstruction is not a luxury, but Jordan needs a strategic. This is an economic security plan, the expansion of the market and ensuring the status of Jordan as an important country in the regional files.
The opportunity is not compensated. We will start from today, with a plan, not a slogan, a partner, not respect, and with the option that does not press the data.
