2. Macroeconomic & Corporate News Five sectors see growth despite COVID effect Despite threats posed by the COVID 19 pandemic, a number of businesses have achieved positive growth during these unprecedented times, according to various sector representatives. Sectors that witnessed rapid growth amid the crisis include mask production, medical equipment and supplies, e-learning portals, life coaching, mental health and wellbeing, and nutrition, the representatives told The Jordan Times. Demand for masks surged from the onset of the coronavirus crisis, said Mahmoud Al Jleis, mask supplier and member of the Amman Chamber of Commerce. However, the revenues from domestic mask production and sales have decreased lately due to imports from China, closure of several economic sectors, which reduced demand, and the increase in number of local mask providers. Demand for specific medical equipment, like artificial respirators increased in the wake of the construction of COVID field hospitals, said Jihad Al Maani, president of Medical Supplies Syndicate. “We have 1,200 companies in Jordan that specialise in medical equipment and supplies. Of those, only 200 companies, specialising in masks, gloves, sanitisers, and artificial respirators, witnessed growth in sales,” said Maani. JBA president, Bahrain ambassador talk business cooperation President of the Jordanian Business Association (JBA) and Bahraini Ambassador to Jordan Ahmed Bin Yousef Al Ruwai on Sunday discussed means to enhance strategic partnerships between the business communities in the two countries. Tabbaa said that the association exerts all efforts to enhance economic, commercial and investment cooperation through the joint Jordanian-Bahraini business council that was established in 2002, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. The JBA president also invited the Bahraini business community to visit Jordan to have a firsthand look at the economic opportunities available in the Kingdom. Ruwai stressed the "deep-rooted" ties between the two kingdoms at the political and economic levels. Jordan's exports to Bahrain in 2019 amounted to $74 million, while the Gulf country's exports to Jordan totalled some $139 million, Petra added. * Source: 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.
