As part of its efforts to enhance the financial technology industry and support the development of the digital economy in the Kingdom, the Jordan Loan Guarantee Corporation (JLGC) organized a specialized training workshop on electronic linkage platforms with entities participating in the guarantee programs managed by the company. These platforms were implemented in cooperation with the Jordanian technology company Optimiza and in partnership with the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ).
The two-day workshop witnessed wide participation from banks and microfinance companies, along with technical specialists from Optimiza. The training focused on mechanisms for using the loan guarantee platform and its benefits in enabling financing institutions to manage their transactions digitally with greater flexibility and speed. This included guarantee applications, scheduling and executing financings, managing indemnity claims, and other vital operations that enhance the efficiency of the business environment in Jordan.
Adnan Naji, Director General of JLGC, stressed the importance of digital initiatives in raising the level of efficiency and transparency in guarantee operations. He noted that the company has developed a dedicated loan guarantee platform that provides financial institutions with a unified interface to manage guarantee applications electronically in a faster and more efficient manner. He also pointed out that another platform was developed for export credit guarantees to empower Jordanian exporters and enhance the competitiveness of companies both locally and internationally. He added that the company continues to work on innovating advanced digital solutions that align with the national digital transformation strategy and support financial inclusion and the digital economy.
For his part, Optimiza CEO Majid Sifri emphasized the importance of partnership with the banking sector to accelerate the pace of digital transformation, noting that the company leverages over 42 years of experience to develop innovative financial technologies. He confirmed that such events contribute to transferring best international practices in loan guarantees and provide a fertile environment for innovating financial and technological solutions that support economic development.
The digital transformation project at JLGC represents a qualitative step in business management, as it enables wider digital interaction with entities participating in guarantee programs, in line with the Economic Modernization Vision and the national financial inclusion strategy led by the Central Bank of Jordan.
