Assessment of Potential Business Opportunities
Conducted desk research on the potential business opportunities for the Port of Aqaba and the Aqaba Special Economic Zone, in light of the lifting of the (12-year old) economic sanctions on Iraq. Research included Jordan’s trade (with a special emphasis on trade with Iraq); Port of Aqaba activity; data on port charges (rates and tariffs for clearance, handling, logistics and freight forwarding to Iraq); Port specifications and features. Also conducted interviews with firm owners, doing and/or pursuing business with Iraq- enquiring after the nature of their activities, and their perspectives on the prospects and constraints facing expanded trade with Iraq.
