Dr. Sultan Al-Madi, Governor of Tafilah, stated that the Tafilah Industrial City has begun to host diverse industrial sectors that have contributed to creating new job opportunities. He pointed out that the upcoming phase will witness the attraction of additional factories and investments. During a tour of local factories operating in the city on Tuesday, he met with their management, workforce, and investors. The new investments resulted from incentives and encouraging decisions approved by the Cabinet in its session held in Tafilah two months ago, including reduced land and electricity prices. He emphasized the government’s role in providing a safe and attractive investment environment, utilizing all services and capabilities to support and protect the investment sector and remove all obstacles facing investors.

The recent investment package approved by the government, alongside previous exemptions and privileges granted under the Development Zones Law and support from the Industrial Cities Company, will enhance production competitiveness and encourage industrial investments in the governorate, thus providing job opportunities for job seekers. The governor inspected production progress and the factories’ contributions to providing jobs for the governorate’s residents. Factory administrations reported employing about 150 workers, with plans to increase this number as investments and production lines expand. Munir Al-Zuraikat, Director of the Industrial City, highlighted the need for cooperation and coordination between official and private entities to facilitate investor attraction to Tafilah, especially given new inquiries in various sectors regarding investment in the city.
