La nouvelle tentative d’augmenter les prix de l’#électricité soulève l’opposition des industriels et des commerçants en #Jordanie.
The industrial sector is leading the campaign against the anticipated rise in electricity rates, which comes two months after a previous proposed rise in rates that was later suspended under popular pressure.
Industrialists warn that the proposed tariff, which calls for a 40 per cent increase for large-scale industrial consumers, will be a “death blow” to thousands of manufacturers and the some 165,000 Jordanians they employ.
