The main objective of the Association is to create and maintain a business climate that will enable the private sector to accomplish its role in the sustainable economic and business development in Jordan. The (JBA) embraces a wide spectrum of well-reputed entrepreneurs. It comprises about 500 members of senior businessmen in Jordan active in the different Jordanian economic sectors including industry, commerce, agriculture, banking, insurance, construction, tourism, transport and others.

The private sector, being committed to free enterprise and entrepreneurship, and working in collaboration with the Public Sector, believes in partnership and cooperation with the Arab and friendly countries. In this context, joint business councils have been set up so far with similar associations in thirty six countries.
