(b) trade and trade services;

(c) mining;

— Non-Jordanian investors may purchase securities listed on the Amman financial market in Jordanian currency, provided that the funds are transferred from a convertible foreign currency.

— Non-Jordanian ownership in a public share-holding company may not exceed 50 % unless the percentage of non-Jordanian ownership was more than 50 % at the time of closing of subscription, in which case the maximum limit on non-Jordanian ownership shall be fixed at that percentage.

— The minimum amount of non-Jordanian investment in any project shall be JOD 100 000 (one hundred thousand Jordanian dinars), except for investment in the Amman financial market, where the minimum investment amount shall be JOD 1 000 (one thousand Jordanian dinars).
