Social Security Investment Fund Celebrates National Occasions: A Legacy of Achievement and an Institutional Journey Rooted in Excellence

As an expression of national pride and appreciation for the remarkable achievements realized under the reign of His Majesty King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein, the Social Security Investment Fund (SSIF) held a celebration to mark several national occasions.
The event was attended by the Minister of Labor and Chairman of the Board of the Social Security Corporation, H.E. Mr. Khaled Al-Bakkar, Chairman of the SSIF Investment Board, Mr. Omar Malhas, SSIF CEO Dr. Ezzeddine Kanakrieh, along with members of the Investment Board, chairpersons and board members of companies owned by the Social Security Corporation, and SSIF staff.

In his remarks, Mr. Omar Malhas emphasized that while these national occasions commemorate different milestones, they are united in embodying the Hashemite vision—rooted in dignity, self-reliance, wise leadership, a loyal army, a proud people, and enduring institutions. He highlighted SSIF’s pivotal role as a pillar of the national economy, noting that the Fund continues to play a strategic part in fostering a thriving investment environment and driving sustainable growth in alignment with the Royal directives.

For his part, Dr. Ezzeddine Kanakrieh, CEO of the SSIF, stated that the Fund’s establishment in 2003 was a direct translation of a Royal vision that emphasized the need to protect Jordanians’ savings through modern, institutional investment practices grounded in transparency, efficiency, and independence. He noted that, over the past two decades, the Fund has evolved into a model of responsible investment, generating tangible developmental impact and strengthening partnerships with both the public and private sectors.

The celebration also featured patriotic and artistic performances that paid tribute to the nation’s journey, celebrated the valor of the Jordanian Armed Forces, honored the legacy of the Great Arab Revolt, and reflected the spirit of Jordan’s modern renaissance under the leadership of His Majesty the King.
