Abstract

In late 1988, in response to the balance of payments crisis, Jordan embarked on a reform of its external tariff and trade system. Trade liberalization gained momentum in 1990, when tariff and nontariff trade barriers were unilaterally reduced.1 These measures were complemented by a reform of the Encouragement of Investment Law and institutional reforms in support of the industrial sector.
