n international briefing session on the Amman Toll Bridge (ATB) project attracted strong interest from global investors, as Jordan’s Ministry of Investment announced the launch of the project’s pre-qualification phase as part of efforts to develop strategic infrastructure projects in partnership with the private sector.

The project has been developed by the Ministry of Investment based on specialized international studies conducted by experienced organizations through a comprehensive advisory consortium, ensuring its readiness for investment and financing while boosting investor confidence in its feasibility and sustainability.

The offering comes amid growth in Jordan’s investment sector, driven by improved economic performance indicators and rising investor confidence. The government continues to introduce high-quality, bankable projects, reinforcing the country’s position as a stable investment destination capable of attracting regional and international capital.

The strong international turnout at the session underscores increasing confidence in Jordan’s public-private partnership market and highlights the Amman Bridge project as a leading initiative in the region in terms of readiness, contractual clarity, and bankability, further enhancing the kingdom’s appeal for infrastructure investment.
