Jordan's PM reshuffles cabinet in shake-up to spur investments

Jordan's prime minister Bisher al Khasawneh reshuffled the cabinet in the fourth shake-up since he took office a year ago in a move that will allow the government more scope to tackle social and economic problems, officials said.

They said a royal decree approved the reshuffle that affects eight to nine posts and created a new investment ministry to spur foreign investment to create much-needed jobs in a country facing a record 25% unemployment rate.
