Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply

What Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply does

The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply (وزارة الصناعة والتجارة والتموين) is the government ministry of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan responsible for regulating and developing the country's industrial, commercial, trade, and supply sectors. Established on 30 January 1952 under King Talal bin Abdullah and restructured in 2016 to add the supply function, the ministry operates under Industry and Trade Law No. 18 of 1998 and Administrative Organization Regulation No. 29 of 2016. It delivers approximately 113 main and sub-services spanning commercial registration (individual establishments, commercial names), industrial property protection (trademarks, patents, industrial designs), import/export licensing, market monitoring, consumer protection, strategic commodity stock management, and free trade agreement negotiation and implementation. The current Minister is Engineer Yaroub Al-Qudah (appointed 18 September 2024, second term) and the Secretary General is Dana Al-Zoubi.

The ministry's technology infrastructure centers on an e-government services portal and a portfolio of electronic platforms: the Central Commercial Registry, the Industrial Property Protection electronic filing system (ippd-eservice.mit.gov.jo), the Jordan Imports Registration Platform, the Registry of Interests in Movable Property (JCR), the Innovation and Technology Support Unit (TISC), and the Agadir Agreement Business Network. A mobile application with sign language translation support was launched in 2024. The technology stack emphasizes integration/interoperability with national e-government systems (portal.jordan.gov.jo, eFawateercom payment, National Contact Center) and ease-of-use features such as Fast Track registration. Distribution is delivered through 22 central directorates, 11 provincial directorates, 50 feed centers, and the unified digital channels.

As a government ministry, MIT does not operate on a commercial revenue model. Services are provided as public administrative functions under statutory mandate, with nominal transaction fees (e.g., JOD 10 per certified search report or security interest registration). The ministry anchors a wider ecosystem of supervised and affiliated entities including Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization, the Jordan Enterprise Development Corporation (JEDCO), the Companies Control Department, and the Civil Consumer Institution. Customer-facing activity in 2025 included 25,600 individual establishment registrations, 10,023 commercial name registrations, 1,353 inspection rounds, 21,891 commercial establishment visits, and 1,101 market violations processed. The ministry's geographic footprint is Jordan-centric, with selected cross-border activity through the Agadir Agreement framework (Jordan, Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Palestine, Lebanon).
