Jordan Times
The report, titled, "The Shifting Geography of Offshoring", called Jordan a "top performer", noting that "it has solid capabilities in IT and is home to numerous successful outsourcing companies that compete internationally".
A.T. Kearney also highlighted that the Kingdom has "one of the region's most favourable business environments", adding that the falling value of the US dollar has boosted Jordan's competitiveness as the dinar is pegged to the dollar.
According to the report, the ratings were reached by evaluating each country against 43 measurements across three major categories: financial attractiveness, people skills and availability, and business environment.
