2. Macroeconomic & Corporate News King holds talks with Hungarian president His Majesty King Abdullah on Monday discussed bilateral ties as well as regional and global developments with Hungarian President János Áder.In remarks welcoming President Áder during expanded talks that were attended by the Hungarian president’s wife Anita Herczegh and held following bilateral talks, King Abdullah said the visit marks an improved stage of relations between Jordan and Hungary, according to a Royal Court statement. During the meeting at Al Husseiniya Palace, the King said he had the distinct pleasure of visiting Hungary almost 10 years ago, and the two countries have continued to exchange visits and build on their ties. Highlighting opportunities to expand partnerships for the mutual benefit of the two countries, His Majesty added that the political and security ties are improving all the time, in addition to the many synergies that allow economic cooperation to be enhanced. The King said discussions held earlier on Monday also covered education and the potential of Hungary increasing scholarships for Jordanian students. Education, His Majesty said, is a tremendous building block of bridges between the two nations, pointing out agriculture, engineering and medical services as other areas for cooperation. The King voiced hope that further discussions will lead to identifying other key areas where the two countries can further strengthen their relationship. Decision to help settle economy-related cases — Murad Amman Chamber of Commerce President Issa Murad on Saturday lauded a decision by the Judicial Council and Cassation Court President Mohammad Ghazo to have an economy-related chamber set up at the Amman Court of First Instance. For several years, the Amman Chamber of Commerce has been calling for this step, said Murad in a statement received by The Jordan Times on Saturday. Murad, who is also a senator, said this has become a necessity especially as the number of economic and financial cases has been on the rise in the wake of the global financial crisis. Such a step will contribute to promoting the Kingdom’s investment environment, he noted. It will positively reflect on capital stability and the country’s rating by global economic rating entities, he added. It will also diversify and expand business sectors, Murad said, voicing hope that specialised judges be appointed in the near future to fulfil this mission. Murad asserted the chamber’s readiness to provide all assistance possible towards achieving this goal. * 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.
