Delegation of Jordanian business leaders head to Iraq to enhance exports
A high level business delegation of 42
Jordanian business leaders met in Irbil earlier this week with their
Iraqi counterparts in Iraq in an effort to promote trade and boost
Jordanian exports to the neighboring country.
The two day visit was organized by Capital Bank, the fourth largest bank
in Jordan in terms of capital and the only Jordanian bank in Iraq, in
cooperation with its partner in Iraq; National Bank of Iraq.
During
its visit, which was the first of its kind to be organized by the Bank
in Iraq, the Jordanian delegation met with members from the Chamber of
Commerce in Kurdistan and a group of Iraqi business leaders in Irbil.
Several
visits are planned to be organized by the Bank for other groups of
Jordanian businessmen and exporters to Baghdad and Basra soon.
Chairman
of Capital Bank and former Minister of Finance, Mr. Bassem Khalil
Assalem, said during the dinner banquet held by the Bank, "Iraq has
always been the largest and most significant trade partner for Jordan;
this is clearly manifested in the long lasting trade relationships
between exporters and businessmen in both countries. We are honored here
at Capital Bank and at our partner National Bank of Iraq to be the
first to organize such visit which will pave the way for further
cooperation opportunities and cement distinct relations between the two
parties."
Mr. Assalem added, "Capital Bank presence in Iraq is
considered to be significant as its share reaches to 73% of the
operating capital in National Bank of Iraq."
He stated, "This
presence provides Jordanian businessmen with an added value to work in
Iraq and enjoy safe channel to expand in the Iraqi market on one hand,
and offers a bridge that links Iraqi people residing in Jordan with
their business in their homeland on the other hand."
He also
talked about Capital Bank's relentless efforts to develop new
relationships with all companies looking to develop their business in
Iraq. This will be achieved, he said, through facilitating transactions
between Capital Bank and National Bank of Iraq by granting its clients
in Jordan and Iraq a full range of services.
Chairman of the
Investment Committee in Kurdistan, Mr. Hersh Muharram met with the
Jordanian delegate and delivered a speech where he expressed his wishes
to have more Jordanian manufacturers operating in Irbil.
He also
pointed out, "His government encourages the establishment of an
industrial zone dedicated for Jordanian factories and managed by a
Jordanian committee in an attempt to promote Jordanian goods in the
area."
On the sideline of the businessmen meetings, Capital Bank
and National Bank of Iraq Board of Directors held meetings where they
discussed future plans and opportunities available to extend operations
of the two banks.
Capital Bank and National Bank of Iraq provide
investors in the Jordanian and Iraqi markets with a wide range of
services. Accordingly, investors can finance their commercial
operations, use and send all types of transfers and manage their
accounts. Moreover, investors can benefit from the trading and
investment consultation services provided by Capital Investments.
In
light of the booming commercial activity between the Jordanian and
Iraqi markets, it is particularly important to make these banking
services available and effective in the two markets. Iraq now tops the
Arab countries list in terms of the value of Jordanian exports which
reaches a billion dollars annually.
This meeting is part of the
continuous endeavors and initiatives launched or participated by Capital
Bank. Another key meeting was the one held with the Exporters
Association and the American Chamber of Commerce in Jordan where
interested business leaders from Jordan and Iraq met to discuss
efficient ways to seize and develop export and investment opportunities
in Iraq.
