During a ceremony to launch "Made in Jordan" campaign adopted by the Amman Chamber of Industry (ACI), the minister stressed the importance of participatory relationship between the public and private sectors, especially the industrial sector which is a "major engine of economic growth" that creates sustainable job opportunities and contributes to reducing unemployment rates.

Head of "Made in Jordan" Campaign Musa Saket said that the campaign comes as a culmination of the ACI's policy to support national industries and highlighted the advanced level and quality they have reached. He said national industries directly contribute to quarter of the Gross Domestic Product and support economic sectors as well as the balance of payments with more than $7 billion.
