This calls for increased integrated efforts from all stakeholders to achieve true development that benefits society as a whole.

The lecture was attended by the college commandant, the head of the directing staff, and members  of directing staff.

 

Anani explained the most important measures that must be taken to address external fluctuations and the importance of competitiveness, implementing a system of political and administrative reform, economic modernization, and raising the level of research and development.

 

Anani emphasized the importance of intensifying cooperation between the public and private sectors to enhance the investment environment, encourage economic growth, and exploit opportunities to achieve sustainable economic growth in Jordan. He also emphasized the principle of self-reliance, diversifying economic partnerships, developing national productive sectors, and improving the local investment environment.

 

Al-Anani addressed the economic challenges facing the Kingdom and the opportunities available amidst the turbulent regional conditions, emphasizing the need to focus on a productive economy by exploiting local resources and supporting basic industries to achieve comprehensive national security.
