FDI Qualities Review of Jordan

Strengthening Sustainable Investment

image of FDI Qualities Review of Jordan

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) provides an important source of financing in Jordan but its reform momentum needs to be sustained and deepened so that the benefits of investment can be shared more widely across society. This report examines how FDI can help Jordan meet Sustainable Development Goals in areas of productivity and innovation, job quality and skills, gender equality and decarbonisation. It provides an overview of the country’s institutional framework for investment and sustainable development and analyses arrangements to ensure policy coordination, stakeholder consultation and evaluation of policy impacts. It also examines the mix of government policies that are currently in place to attract the investment that contributes to sustainable development, noting areas for priority policy reforms.

Improving FDI impacts on carbon emissions

This chapter discusses Jordan’s key challenges related to energy security and resulting implications for carbon emissions and private investment. It assesses the current contribution of FDI to diversifying energy sources, reducing carbon emissions and supporting the low-carbon transition, including through potential spillovers to domestic firms. It then considers the institutional and policy frameworks that influence the impact of FDI on carbon emissions, and identifies policy opportunities for improving these impacts. The chapter applies the forthcoming OECD FDI Qualities Policy Toolkit.
