AMMAN: The EU remains one of Jordan’s most important economic partners, playing a vital role in supporting the country’s economy through financial assistance, grants, and investments, Jordanian European Business Association President Ali Murad said on Saturday.
Murad described the Jordan-EU partnership as a “living model of constructive cooperation” that has helped Jordan confront economic crises amid regional and international challenges, the Jordan News Agency reported.
He also praised King Abdullah II’s “great efforts” to strengthen cooperation, particularly in the economic sector.
The JEBA president said that the partnership has witnessed “remarkable development” since the signing of a strategic agreement earlier this year, reflecting the EU’s commitment to supporting Jordan’s economic goals.
On Wednesday, the Cabinet approved a financing agreement and memorandum of understanding covering €500 million ($585 million) in EU financial assistance, part of a €3 billion package agreed for 2025–2027.
