In 1980 an airborne spectrometric survey covering the entire country was completed. By 1988 ground based radiometric surveys of anomalies identified in the airborne survey were completed. During the 1988-1990 period, the Precambrian basement and Ordovician sandstone target areas were evaluated using geological, geochemical and radiometric mapping and/or surveys.
En 1980, des levés spectrométriques aéroportés ont été effectués sur l’ensemble du territoire jordanien. Les anomalies qu’ils ont permis de déceler ont fait l’objet de levés radiométriques au sol qui se sont achevés en 1988. De 1988 à 1990, les zones cibles du socle précambrien et des grès ordoviciens ont été évaluées à l’aide de relevés cartographiques et/ou de levés géologiques, géochimiques et radiométriques.

Jordan’s economy has benefitted from key reforms since the 1990s, helping to attain macroeconomic stability and improve human development indicators. However, the country remains highly dependent on foreign aid and remittances and the current regional unrest strongly affects economic activities.Jordan has performed relatively well in attracting foreign direct investment. FDI inflows reached 10% of GDP during 2000-11. The regional instability and the economic slowdown in the Gulf States have nevertheless considerably affected investment inflows which were halved in 2011 compared to 2008. Prospects for recovery are still uncertain.The privatisation process has been a major driver in attracting foreign investors, but is now largely completed. A law on public-private partnerships (PPPs) is being prepared in order to set up a new legal and institutional framework.
