The EBRD’s Vice President for Banking, Matteo Patrone, is visiting Jordan from 6 to 7 April to meet senior government officials and members of the financial and business community.
During his visit to Amman, the Vice President will hold meetings with the Prime Minister of Jordan, Jafar Hassan, Minister of Planning and International Cooperation and EBRD Governor, Zeina Toukan, and the Governor of the Central Bank of Jordan, Adel al-Sharkas.
Mr Patrone will also meet the EU Ambassador to Jordan, representatives of local companies and banks, as well as figures from international financial institutions. He will also sign a number of new investments.
Mr Patrone said: “I am delighted to be visiting Jordan for the first time as EBRD Vice President and I look forward to discussing future cooperation with government officials and the business community. We are committed to supporting the Jordanian economy by developing its infrastructure, advancing green investments and promoting greater participation of women and young people in the workforce.”
The Vice President will be joined by the EBRD’s Mark Davis, Managing Director for the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean region, and Gretchen Biery, Director for the Eastern Mediterranean region.
Since 2012, the EBRD has provided more than €2.3 billion in financing through 75 projects in Jordan, supporting the energy sector, critical infrastructure, the banking sector and small and medium-sized enterprises, with 72 per cent of the funds going to the private sector.
