During the meeting, participants discussed several proposals aimed at strengthening the partnership between the public and private sectors in order to achieve key economic and developmental goals. Key topics included the importance of performance indicators for measuring progress in public sector development, which is critical to the successful implementation of the country’s economic modernization vision.

It is worth noting that the Jordan Strategy Forum was established in 2012 with the goal of consolidating the private sector’s genuine commitment to participating in meaningful dialogue on economic issues affecting Jordanians. The Forum works to promote comprehensive economic development by bringing together active institutions and companies from the Jordanian private sector, as well as policymakers, specialists, and economic experts.
