France has a predominant role in the Jordanian economy. This position could not have been achieved if it was not for the privatization wave of the Jordanian economy.
The main companies, which benefited from these privatizations, are:
- Lafarge
- France Telecom
- Accor
- Lema (subsidiary of Suez Ondeo)
- Alpha (subsidiary of Sodexho)
- Alstom
- La Monnaie de Paris
- La Coface
- Pont à Mousson
This success is due to France’s active assistance in debt remission and/or its conversion into investment. In 2001, a draft agreement was signed for an amount of 38,2 million EUR and it concerned the conversion of foreign debt. In addition, France played an important role in the Paris Club agreements.
