Jordan ranked fourth in the Middle East in the 2009 Global Trade Enabling Report,

after the UAE, Bahrain and Qatar. The nation is emerging as a free market economy
and a member of the WTO (World Trade Organization). Jordan’s trade sector is
growing rapidly, largely due to the regional insatiability in Iraq and Lebanon. Jordan
also has more Free Trade Agreements than any other Arab country in the world. For
instance, it has signed the FTA with the European Union, the United States, Canada,
Syria, Algeria, Tunisia, Singapore, Malaysia and Libya. The country is also party to
the Agadir Agreement, the Greater Arab Free Trade Agreement and the Euro-
Mediterranean free trade agreement. 

Jordan Trade Profile

Jordan has abundant sources of potash and phosphate, which contribute a major
share to its exports. Also, there has been an annual increase of 9% in the exports of
manufactured goods. The nation relies on foreign trade to fulfill its requirement for
energy. Transport, mining, manufacturing and other export-oriented sectors of
Jordan were severely impacted in the late 2000s by the global financial crises. Re-
exports also declined sharply during the recession. Exports fell to $6.989 billion in
2009, from $7.782 billion in 2008. Jordon imported goods worth $12.31 in 2009,
which was lower than the $14.99 billion worth of goods imported in 2008.

An almost completely landlocked country, the Kingdom of Jordan is located in the
Middle East. A large part of the country is covered by the Arabian Desert. Amman is
the capital of Jordan. Its neighboring countries are Israel, the West Bank, Syria, Iraq
and Saudi Arabia. Over the years, Jordan has been witness to the rise and fall of
various civilizations. Although it is a constitutional monarchy, it is served by a
representative government. The head of the state is the reigning ruler, King Abdullah
II, who is also the chief executive and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The
population is a little over 6.3 million (as of 2009), of which 92% are Sunni Muslim and
a small section comprises Christians. With mostly urbanized citizens, Jordan is a
modern Arab country. Royal Jordanian Airlines is the national airline. Many foreign
carriers also operate in Jordan, such as, Delta Airlines, Lufthansa, Egypt Air, BMI,
Emirates, Turkish Airlines and Air France.

Jordan Economy: Profile

Jordan is a small country that has emerged as the "business capital of the Levant".
The free market economy of Jordan has grown 7% annually since the accession of
King Abdullah in 1999. It relies on foreign trade for its energy and natural resource
requirements. Due to the implementation of liberal economic policies, the nation has
become the most competitive Middle Eastern economy. Jordan boasts a modern and
developed banking system and is attracting significant foreign investment. This has
also enabled the country to smoothly tackle the global financial downturn of the late
2000s. Jordan shares healthy relations with the UK and the US, being a pro-Western
regime.

India’s relationship with Jordan has always been characterized by warmth and

goodwill based on mutual respect. The two countries signed their first bilateral

agreement for cooperation and friendly relations in 1947, which was formalised in

1950 when the two countries established full-fledged diplomatic ties. There has been

regular high level exchange of visits between the two countries during all these

years. Our interaction in multilateral fora, particularly under UN’s framework has

fostered better understanding of mutual concerns and priorities.

The State visit of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania to India in December 2006

provided an excellent opportunity for exchange of views on all aspects of our

bilateral relations. During the visit, a number of bilateral agreements were signed.

MOS (EA) visited Jordan in September 2007 and Shri Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, MOS
for Commerce & Industry, paid an official visit to Jordan in February 2010. Besides,

there have been several official level visits, including:

• The Representative of State Bank of India based in Cairo, visited Jordan in

March 2010 and met representatives of financial institutions in Jordan;

• Shri G.C. Sharma, Deputy General Manager (International Business Division),

Power Grid Corporation of India, Gurgaon, visited Amman in May 2010 in

connection with a tender floated by the National Electric Power Company of

Jordan;

• A two-member delegation led by Smt. Anshu Vaish, Secretary (SE&L) visited

Amman to participate in the Second International Policy Dialogue Forum:

“Providing Teachers for Education for All: Quality Matters” and Meeting of the

Steering Committee of the International Task Force on “Teachers for EFA” in

July 2010.

Bilateral Trade: Indo-Jordan trade is governed by an agreement signed in 1976

under which a Trade and Economic Joint Committee promotes and monitors the

progress. Over the years, the trade between the two countries has grown rapidly

although the balance of trade has been in favour of Jordan during the last few years

because of massive phosphate and potash imports by India. India was the largest

export partner and ninth largest import partner of Jordan in 2008. The trade turnover

between the two countries stood at US$1.785 billion in 2008 i.e. Jordan’s imports

from India stood at about US$503 million in 2008 while its exports to India reached at

US$1.283 billion in 2008. India’s position in 2009 is third and fifteenth respectively as

the trade turnover between the two countries stood at US$983 million in 2009 i.e.

India’s exports to Jordan in 2009 stood at US$ 297 million while imports were valued

at US$ 686 million. India’s main items of imports from Jordan are fertilizers,

phosphates, phosphoric acid etc. India’s exports to Jordan consist of electrical

machinery, cereals, frozen meat, organic and inorganic chemicals, aircraft and parts
thereof, animal fodders, engineering goods etc. India remains the largest importer of

Potash and Phosphates from Jordan which has contributed to the adverse balance

of trade. Collaboration in the fertilizer sector has been growing as the Jordan

Phosphate Mines Company announced in May 2010 that implementation of a $625

million joint venture Jordan-India Fertiliser Company, located in Eshidiya area in Maan (Jordan)
Governorate, about 330 kilometres to the south of Amman, for

manufacturing phosphoric acid started in April/May 2010 and the commercial

operation is expected to start by late 2012.

The 9th session of the India-Jordan Trade and Economic Committee (which monitors

and promotes economic and commercial cooperation between the two countries) is

to be held in Amman at a mutually convenient date.

Trade delegations: There have been regular visits of business delegations

between the two countries. Dr. Davish Jain, leading industrialist from Madhya

Pradesh and Managing Director of Prestige Group of Industries visited Amman in

May 2010 on an export promotion mission for soyabean and other animal feeding

stuff. Earlier during the year, business delegations from Engineering Export

Promotion Council, FICCI and Chemexcil had visited Amman.

Cooperation in defence between the two countries has immense scope considering

commonality of security concerns of both the countries. A 14-member NDC

delegation visited Jordan in May 2010 as part of the Foreign Countries Study Tour of

the 50th NDC Course.

Jordan has tremendous potential of renewable energy in the form of wind, solar and

biomass. An MoU on cooperation in Science and Technology was signed between

Indian National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Scientific Society of Jordan in

January 2006.

There is a lot of interest in Jordan in the Indian art and culture. It is heartening to

note that there is a regular cultural exchange, including the visits of performing

troupes and exhibitions between our two countries, which have helped promote
mutual cultural understanding. A Cultural Exchange Programme for the year 2007-09

was signed in December 2006 during King’s visit to India. A Sitar Group and a

Bharatnatyam troupe, sponsored by ICCR, participated in the Jordan Festival in July

2009. Odissi dancer Smt. Rajashri Behera, sponsored by ICCR, performed in

Amman in November 2009. Jordanian children have been participating in cultural

and scholastic events in India. In May 2010, Jordan won ten awards in the annual

Shankar's International Children's Competition open to children below the age of 16.

At present, there are over 500 Jordanian students pursuing studies in different

universities in India. Besides, India offers 20 slots every year to Jordanian

candidates under the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC)

programme. Jordanian nationals have been making good use of the training

opportunities offered under the ITEC programme. ICCR also offers five annual

scholarships to meritorious Jordanian students for higher education in India.

There are about 7000 Indian nationals living in Jordan, most of whom are employed

in textile, construction and manufacturing sectors, fertilizer companies, health sector,

universities, IT, financial companies and multilateral organisations.

The Government of Jordan liberalized the visa-regime for Indians in November 2009

under which Indian tourists are now getting visa for two weeks on arrival at the

airport without having to go to the Jordanian Embassy for visa. Around 30,000

Indians visited Jordan in 2009 and with the new visa rules, more and more Indian tourists are
expected to visit Jordan in the future, thereby enhancing people-topeople contacts between the two
countries.

AMMAN –– An Indian official will start a visit to Jordan on Monday to look into means to enhance trade
exchange between the two countries, according to Indian Ambassador to Jordan, Radha Ranjan Dash.

During the two-day visit, Indian Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jyotiraditya Scindia will meet
with Industry and Trade Minister Amer Hadidi to mainly explore existing bilateral trade potential, the envoy
said.
“Trade between the two countries is on the increase as India was Jordan’s largest export destination in 2008,” he
indicated, noting that in 2006 bilateral trade stood at $570 million, while in 2008 it soared to $1.8 billion, which
was in favour of Jordan exports reaching $1.3 billion.

Jordan mainly exports phosphate, potash and fertilisers, while imports electric machinery, meat, cereals, coffee,
tea and spices, Dash said, stating that although trade exchange has declined in 2009 due to factors caused by the
global economic crisis, it is expected to pick up in the coming years.

In an interview with The Jordan Times, the diplomat indicated that the Indian minister will also hold talks with
Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh to discuss issues of mutual concern.

“The forthcoming visit will give a new substance and significance to India-Jordan relations in the years ahead,”
he added.

The Indian envoy pointed to the increasing flow of tourists from India as around 30,000 tourists visited the
Kingdom in 2009, saying that the number is likely to double this year due to the libralised visa regime.

Under several measures taken by the government last year to target emerging tourist markets, citizens of India
are no longer required to apply for a visa at a Jordanian embassy in their country and groups and individuals
travelling to the Kingdom through tour operators can receive a visa upon arrival.

According to the ambassador, there are more than 7,000 Indians working in the garment, construction and
hospitality sectors in addition to workers in the information and communications technology sector.

Regarding Indian investments in the Kingdom, Dash mentioned joint ventures worth of $800 million by two
Indian companies, Southern Petrochemical Industries Company and Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Ltd.
with the Jordan Phosphates Mining Company to produce phosphoric acid to be exported to India.

“We also have investments in 20 garment factories in Qualified Industrial Zones amounting for $50 million,” he
added.

Jordan and India will be marking the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations this year, said the diplomat,
adding the two countries had inked their first bilateral agreement for cooperation and friendly relations in 1947,
which was formalised in 1950 to full-fledged diplomatic relations.
