Amman Chamber of Commerce

What Amman Chamber of Commerce does

Amman Chamber of Commerce (غرفة تجارة عمّان) is a statutory, membership-based organization founded in 1921 and headquartered in Amman, Jordan. It serves as the principal commercial registry and trade facilitation body for the capital governorate, providing services such as business registration, membership subscriptions, issuance and verification of certificates of origin, business arbitration, trade directory listings, commercial mediation, and policy advocacy on behalf of the private sector. Its operational scope extends to coordinating with local Jordanian chambers, Arab chambers, foreign and joint chambers, and a dedicated Business Women Committee, while also running the Amman Chamber Academy for professional training.

The chamber operates a website-based e-services platform (ammanchamber.org.jo) that handles electronic subscription renewals, certificate of origin issuance and verification, membership certificate viewing, and company registration updates, supplemented by a physical one-stop service center. Its 2026 operating footprint includes 32,178 renewed memberships and 1,752 new members, with 20,054 certificates of origin issued in 2026 valued at 756,853,205 Jordanian dinars. Recent technology and infrastructure investments include a 482-panel, 321 kW DC photovoltaic solar project at the Iraqi Prince area, an RFP for four DC fast EV chargers, ISO 9001:2015 quality certification, and a digital Jordan–Saudi Business Network matchmaking platform launched in January 2026.

Revenue is generated through annual member subscriptions, fees on certificates of origin and other attestation services, academy tuition, and event participation. The chamber does not disclose a P&L; figures such as the certificate of origin value represent transaction throughput rather than chamber revenue. The organization is governed by an elected Board of Directors led by Chairman Khalil Al-Haj Tawfiq, with Bashar Mqabl as Deputy Director General, and has been referenced as having 100+ years of continuous operation as a pillar of Jordan's national economy.
