Likeothercountries,Jordansoughttobenefitfromtheadvantagesandunprecedentedopportunitiesofe-commerce.Toachievethisgoal,considerableeconomicandlegislativereformsweremadeduringthelastdecadetobringtheJordanianmarketintoconformitywiththeglobaleconomyandshifttheJordanianeconomyfromprotectedformofeconomytothemarketone,wherethecompetitionpracticesandliberationofgoodsandservices’pricesarefreed.In2001,JordanenactedtheElectronicTransactionsLawNo.85whichwaslargelybasedontheUNCITRALmodellawonelectroniccommerce.Thislawhasrecognizedelectronictransactionsandsignaturesandplacedthemonequalfootingwiththeirpapercounter-parts.Furthermore,Jordansignedandaccededtomanytreatiesandagreementsatinternational,American,andEuropeanlevelstocreateafavourablee-commerceclimateandmeetthestandardsofinternationaltrade.
