Thank you everyone for the update! It's so great to see Rania involved with such a worthwhile and internationally important cause. Jordan should be very proud of Rania's involvement.

While it is an interesting article, I think it is important to question the motives of the author and the individuals taking an interest in the Jordananian economy. If I were a confidante of King Abdullah, I would advise him to observe the developmental patterns of his neighboring countries and notice that even in those countries receiving exorbitant amounts of FDI (i.e. Egypt), a serious economic problem still exists among the majority of the population that has been unable to reap the so-called benefits of globalization. There is already unrest within Jordan; adopting a developmental pattern similar to Egypt or the Gulf countries will only exacerbate this problem and create difficulties for the monarchy in the near future. It would be better for King Abdullah to adopt policies that will benefit the poor majority in his kingdom, rather than the elite who is most likely to benefit most from multinational corporations.

I think she has to work more inside jordan
The queen is very smart, as well of making interviews and speeches out side Jordan she could help out improving poor people lives in Jordan .

I agree with both of you, in this situation and the monarchy can be very much in jeoporary or it can open up towards a democratic system, enabling people to express their views and empowering themselves. The economy is a way of developing a country and allows for many to establish a workforce and the ability for microfinance, giving many jobs to support themselves. Proverty is everywhere including the U.S., and some argue why do we give foreign aid to other countries when there is proverty in the U.S.

Even the biggest countries are always trying to connect the economies to be stronger, for governmental reason, perfect example was Germany in 1933. However, we can't say much as of now until these developments have been stable and people become to live or work those spaces.
