Amman - The Amman Chamber of Commerce is preparing to hold an unconventional national economic meeting this month to an immediately implementable "roadmap" to overcome the significant challenges facing the national economy, which have heavily impacted various sectors and commercial activities.
In a statement today, Saturday, the Chamber's President, Khalil Al-Haj Tawfiq, stated that the Kingdom is currently facing many economic difficulties, especially those resulting from the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, which has deepened the decline in commercial activities. Additionally, many vital economic sectors are now experiencing a recession.
He added that this situation requires urgent intervention from all parties to provide swift and effective solutions, leveraging the country's strengths and maintaining the recovery momentum that started after overcoming the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He further mentioned that this scenario prompted the Chamber's Board of Directors to call for an unconventional national economic meeting to present quick, applicable solutions, ideas, and proposals from knowledgeable and experienced individuals to mitigate the current regional and global economic uncertainties. These solutions will then be submitted to decision-makers and relevant state institutions.
Al-Haj Tawfiq invited those interested in participating in the meeting to submit their immediately applicable proposals and ideas by registering through the following link: [https://forms.gle/eeacQvzsWnExjEKWA](https://forms.gle/eeacQvzsWnExjEKWA) and filling out the required information to be reviewed and organized for the meeting as soon as possible.
He explained that the Chamber's Board has identified the main issues to be discussed at the meeting, which require solutions and ideas from the participants. These include commercial stagnation, declining sales, weak purchasing power, financial funding, lending, and financial facilities.
According to Al-Haj Tawfiq, the Board has also identified other issues such as unemployment and job creation, food security, prices and consumer protection, boosting the tourism sector, revitalizing the transport and shipping sector, encouraging investment, supporting local investors, attracting investments, and operational and energy costs.
