2. Macroeconomic & Corporate News Gov’t completes preliminary design for new Amman city The government has completed a preliminary comprehensive design for the establishment of a new Amman city, which is set to be the country's new capital, Prime Minister Hani Mulki said on Sunday."We found the solution to address several pressing issues in Amman; we will create a new Amman city. This project will be offered for implementation on the basis of Build, Operate and Transfer next year," Mulki said at a meeting with media representatives.The new city will not be attached to Amman, he added.The project will be constructed over five phases, the Premier added. New government buildings will also be available in the city, according to Mulki, who did not disclose its location. During the meeting, the premier added that tenders will be also offered to construct several toll roads between the years 20182021.These include Amman Ring Road, Irbid-Amman, Ajloun-Salt and Dead Sea and Aqaba roads.These roads will be constructed on Build, Operate and Transfer basis, he said, adding that these will be alternative roads.“For, when the Dead Sea-Aqaba road is a toll road, we are working on maintenance of the Desert Highway that leads to Aqaba, which will still be for free. So we will make sure there are alternatives,” said the premier. Vezeeta.com launches digital health solutions in Jordan Vezeeta.com, the leading digital healthcare services provider in the Middle East launched its platform for medical bookings in Jordan, securing its position as the first medical booking platform in the Middle East and allowing patients in Jordan and the region to book appointments with Jordanian doctors online or through Mobile Application.Through its electronic booking platform, Vezeeta.com facilitates online bookings by making it easy for patients to search for doctors and book appointments with the most suitable doctor depending on area, specialization, screening price. Most important is that patients can view other patients' assessments and opinions of their experience with the doctors which results in improved quality of healthcare and a new dynamic in bookings. Another important benefit of the platform is increasing the Kingdom’s medical tourism as the platform can be used from outside the Kingdom for booking with doctors in Jordan. Four referred to prosecution over Hallabat energy theft Preventive Security Department personnel have wrapped up the initial investigation into the historic power theft case on a farm in Hallabat area and said they have arrested the owner and three employees of a power company, who “were proven to be involved in the case”, the Public Security Department (PSD) said on Sunday.The PSD’s media centre said that following the raid on the farm earlier this month by security agencies and representatives of the Jordanian Electric Power Company (JEPCO), a special investigation team was formed to look into the case. During the raid, security personnel arrested a person who was responsible for administrating part of the farm that housed a fodder plant, and seized power inverters and cables that were used in the electricity theft, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. * Source: Bloomberg, Jordan Times, Zawya Disclaimer Awraq Investments and its affiliates obtain information from sources they believe to be reliable, but do not warrant its accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose, and disclaim for themselves and their information providers all liability arising from the use.
