Report sheds light on potential of Jordan’s garment, textile and leather industry

AMMAN — The domestic value added (DVA) of Jordan’s garment, textile and leather (GTL) industry as a share of production output is relatively high compared to most low and middle-income countries with notable export-oriented garment and textile industries, according to a recent study published by Better Work Jordan (BWJ).

“This figure is also high when benchmarked against other Jordanian manufacturing sectors,” the report added. 

The DVA as a share of production output stood at 41.7 per cent in 2018, which is the most recent year for which statistics are available, the report said.
