The U.S.– Jordan Free Trade Agreement has boosted Jordan’s economy. Since the signing of the U.S.–Jordan Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in 2001, two-way goods trade has increased from about $568 million (12 months of 2001) to $2.04 billion in the first 11 months of 2007. Total U.S. merchandise exports to Jordan in 2006 were $650 million. The U.S. also currently has FTAs with Bahrain, Israel and Morocco in the Middle East region. The U.S.-FTA with Oman is expected to be implemented in the first half of 2008.
