The JIB delegates met with Tafileh’s Governor Hassan Assaf who briefed them on the governorate’s needs. They also met with Aref Mirayat, president of Tafileh’s Chamber of Industry and Trade who proposed income-generating projects which can create jobs for the area’s residents in the fields of tourism, industry and agriculture.

The delegates highlighted the Italian soft loan programme which supports small- and medium-sized enterprises. The JIB field visits have covered the southern Governorates of Karak and Maan as the JIB plans to update its investment map for the south at the beginning of next year.
