The Jordanian Businessmen Association

The Jordanian Businessmen Association (JBA) was established in 1985 as an independent, non-profit organization with it's headquartering in Amman, Jordan. The main objective of the Association is to create and maintain a business climate that will enable the private sector to accomplish its role in the sustainable economic and business development in Jordan.
The (JBA) embraces a wide spectrum of well-reputed entrepreneurs. It comprises about 500 members of senior businessmen in Jordan active in the different Jordanian economic sectors including industry, commerce, agriculture, banking, insurance, construction, tourism, transport and others.
They represent the core of the private sector and this qualifies the Association to act as the single unified spokesman for Jordanian businessmen in communications and meetings with similar foreign businessmen associations.
The private sector, being committed to free enterprise and entrepreneurship, and working in collaboration with the Public Sector, believes in partnership and cooperation with the Arab and friendly countries.
In this context, joint business councils have been set up so far with similar associations in thirty six countries.
The (JBA) runs dialogues with ministries concerned with economic affairs in Jordan to boost the role of the private sector in the economic development in the Kingdom. It receives missions of the foreign business communities which visit Jordan, and arranges the meetings between such missions and their Jordanian counterparts.
