Of the total jobs created, 1,138 jobs were filled by women, the minister said, representing a 25 per cent rise in female employment, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. Qudah said the fund's first round of programmes has achieved 'tangible' outcomes, boosting both export performance and development capabilities within the industrial sector. Out of 1,400 companies that applied for support, 368 were selected during the first phase, with the highest number of beneficiaries coming from the food industries sector, he said. Qudah also said that the platform has received 1,139 applications for the second round of funding, of which 102 companies were approved under the Outcome-Based Incentive Programme, and 43 under the Export Credit Guarantee Program. He said that assessment results for two other initiatives, the Industrial Modernization and Export Promotion Programmes, are expected in May and June. 'The fund's impact has been significant. Exports from supported companies rose by 29 per cent to JD118 million, while total sales surged by JD533 million, reflecting a 28 per cent growth,' he said. The minister said that the overall cost of the development plans reached approximately JD80 million, with the fund's contribution reaching JD41 million, or 51 per cent of the total, and the remaining JD39 million financed by the private sector. 'This indicates the growing private-sector engagement in industrial development,' he said.

Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply Yarub Qudah said the committee meeting reflects the mutual commitment of Jordan and Hungary to boost collaboration in trade, investment, and other economic domains. Qudah emphasised Jordan's interest in advancing its economic relations with Hungary, particularly amid ongoing global political and economic challenges, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. He noted that the relatively short interval since the committee's last session underscores the 'strength and continuity' of bilateral ties at the political, governmental and grassroots levels. Qudah called for translating these "robust" relations into "concrete" economic outcomes by enhancing trade figures, activating signed memoranda of understanding , and transitioning towards implementation across priority sectors, notably energy, mining and environmental sustainability. He also stressed the importance of fostering private sector engagement and establishing dynamic linkages between Jordanian and Hungarian businesses, pointing to "untapped" opportunities across regional markets. He highlighted Jordan's strategic geographic position, noting that foreign investment in Jordan requires collaborative efforts with capable institutional and private-sector partners an area where Hungary's experience and capacities are highly valued. In regards to education, Qudah praised Hungary's initiative to provide 400 scholarships annually to Jordanian students over the next three years, describing the programme as a "vital" tool for cultural exchange and long-term bilateral engagement. Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto stressed his country's commitment to deepening economic relations with Jordan, calling for regular exchanges between business delegations and institutional stakeholders. He underlined the importance of maintaining economic cooperation that reflects the high level of political coordination between the two nations. Szijjarto commended His Majesty King Abdullah for his role in promoting regional stability, highlighting the significance of the Hashemite Custodianship of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem and Jordan's efforts in promoting interfaith coexistence. He also noted Jordan's unwavering stance against extremism and its commitment to peace and conflict de-escalation, positioning the Kingdom as a "key" partner in advancing shared values. The Hungarian minister proposed the establishment of a bilateral business forum before the end of the year and extended an invitation for a Jordanian business delegation to visit Hungary for direct talks with Hungarian companies. Szijjarto reaffirmed Hungary's "strong" support for the comprehensive strategic partnership between the European Union and Jordan, expressing confidence that such cooperation serves the mutual interests of both sides, despite occasional internal challenges within the EU that delay trade negotiations.
