Industry Ministry drafts bylaw to regulate e-commerce parcels, protect traditional trade — official
AMMAN — The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply is preparing new regulations to control the import of postal parcels through e-commerce in a move aimed at protecting traditional trade from unfair competition. Ministry Secretary-General Dana Zoubi told Al Mamlaka TV that the decisions will introduce mechanisms to regulate online purchasing while safeguarding consumers from illegal practices and boosting public confidence in e-commerce. She noted that the main sectors affected by cross-border parcels are clothing, accessories, perfumes, cosmetics, toys, and dietary supplements, adding added that some individuals are engaged in unregulated e-commerce activities, stressing that the ministry will intensify efforts to monitor and organise the trade. Under the current bylaw, individuals are allowed to import parcels valued at up to JD200, with fees imposed at either 10 per cent or JD5 per parcel. E-commerce in Jordan has grown significantly in recent years. According to ministry figures, the number of parcels received through online platforms reached about 1.7 million in 2023, marking a 70 per cent increase from 2022. Data from the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission showed that the total number of internationally exchanged postal items reached nearly 2.7 million in 2024. Zoubi said that the ministry is also drafting an e-commerce bylaw to regulate the informal sector. The draft law covers licensing requirements, the validity of electronic contracts, consumer rights protection, documentation of e-stores, dispute resolution mechanisms, and personal data protection. She explained that the proposed bylaw will set clear rules to protect consumers, including the right to accurate product information, the right to return or exchange goods under defined conditions, and access to inspection services. The measures will also clarify the relationships among parties in online sales, strengthening oversight and enforcement, the secretary-general added. While Jordan's online shopping market is expanding rapidly, experts have warned the growth is becoming unsustainable as thousands of parcels flood the country daily, many of them evading proper customs procedures. According to the Clothing and Textile Merchants Syndicate, an estimated 7,500 parcels arrive daily, containing over 90,000 clothing items. The total value of these shipments reached JD310 million last year, surpassing the JD250 million recorded through traditional retail outlets, according to the syndicate. The sharp growth has given rise to what local business owners call 'digital smuggling,' the import of commercial quantities of goods under the guise of personal shipments. These parcels frequently bypass customs duties and regulatory checks, enabling unlicensed sellers to offer products at significantly lower prices, particularly on social media platforms. The ministry said previously it had received an increasing number of consumer complaints regarding the quality and authenticity of products ordered online, a growing indication of weak consumer protection in the digital commerce sector. While stakeholders acknowledge that digital trade brings innovation and convenience, many stress the urgent need for updated regulations and enforcement mechanisms to ensure fair competition and safeguard consumer rights.

King reviews economic vision's implementation progress in first half of 2025

During a meeting at Al Husseiniya Palace, attended by HRH Crown Prince Hussein, His Majesty was briefed by Prime Minister Jafar Hassan and the concerned ministers on the vision's current projects and most notable achievements to date, according to a Royal Court statement. His Majesty highlighted the importance of committing to implementation within the set timeframe in order to ensure desired results are achieved. The King was also briefed on the outcomes of the Economic Modernisation Vision's second phase workshops, hosted by the Royal Hashemite Court over 12 days in July, during which experts from the private sector, academia, and civil society evaluated progress in the first phase of the vision (2023-2025) and provided recommendations for its second phase as the government begins drafting the executive programme for the years 2026-2029.

Cabinet approves draft amendments to National Military Service Law
AMMAN — The Cabinet, during a session chaired by Prime Minister Jafar Hassan on Wednesday, endorsed the validating reasons for the 2025 amendments to the Military Service and Reserve Service Law, paving the way for its referral to the Legislative and Opinion Bureau for further action. The law has been given the urgency status, enabling its submission to the Lower House once Parliament reconvenes for its upcoming session, according to a Prime Ministry statement. The move follows Crown Prince Hussein's recent announcement regarding the reactivation of the National Service Programme. During a previous Cabinet meeting, prime minister said that the government, in collaboration with the Jordan Armed Forces–Arab Army (JAF), would complete all necessary preparations ahead of the programme's scheduled launch in February 2026. Funding for the initiative will be drawn from 2025's emergency allocations and integrated into the 2026 state budget, the statement said. The Cabinet also approved the 2025 bylaw for the fund for supporting vocational and technical education. The legislation is aimed at bolstering the fund's role in creating employment, promoting productive engagement, and supporting educational and training initiatives. The fund will provide financing for various projects and production branches, particularly in rural, Badia, and remote areas, in line with directives issued by His Majesty King Abdullah. These efforts aim to generate local employment and reduce regional disparities, according to the statement. As part of the productive branches initiative, the government will subsidise workers by covering 50 per cent of the minimum wage, alongside JD25 towards social security contributions and an additional JD25 for transportation. To date, the fund has helped create nearly 10,000 job opportunities, with approximately 95 per cent of these positions secured by women in rural and Badia regions, the statement said. Green hydrogen As part of Jordan's strategy to position itself as a regional energy hub, the Cabinet approved a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and China's United Energy Group. The agreement focuses on feasibility studies for a green hydrogen project, particularly in the field of green methanol production. The MoU forms part of broader efforts to attract green energy investment, leverage available incentives, localise clean industry, and generate employment, according to the statement. In support of tourism development, the Cabinet authorised the Jordan Free and Development Zones Group to proceed with partial financing of several key projects in Ajloun and the Dead Sea region in 2025. These include infrastructure work for Ajloun Forest Reserve (Phases I and II), a visitor centre and trail connecting to the historic castle, as well as the Dead Sea public beach project, a beachfront park, and the rehabilitation of surrounding structures.
