Roundup: Sales of Jordan's electronics slump amid low purchasing power

AMMAN, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- Sales of electrical and electronic devices in Jordan declined by about 50 percent in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of last year, as the consumer purchasing power is weak, according to the Jordan Chamber of Commerce (JCC).

Besides, the number of merchants dealing in electrical and electronic devices now exceeds 3,000, with fierce competition and the overstock in importers' warehouses, noted Hatem Zoubi, a representative of the electrical and electronics sector at the JCC, in a recent JCC statement.
