ABSTRACT: This study aimed at
recognizing the size of direct foreign investment in Jordan and its impact on
the rate of unemployment in Jordan. It also aimed at recognizing the
constraints against the foreign investment. The study concludes that the low
levels of these investments are attributed to the lack of regulating
legislations that encourage foreign investment in Jordan. The study recommends the development of services and
infrastructures; besides, the Jordanian concerned departments should prepare
and disseminate the information on investment opportunities in Jordan.
