Mr Abu Libdeh confirmed that the activities undertaken by these companies reflect negatively on the interests of investors, especially since these companies are active in the markets around is not make any information to investors because it is "speculative companies" invest funds for the benefit of local speculators and foreign companies outside the country, so the national economy does not benefit absolutely of this economic activity which is detrimental to the national economy.
