COMBATING COMMERCIAL FRAUD IN COMPARATIVE LAW THE LEGISLATIVE POSITION OF JORDAN AND ALGERIA ON FRAUD IN COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS AND MECHANISMS FOR ITS PREVENTION

Abstract

Commerce typically plays a chief role in economic growth and societal development. Historically, people used to satisfy their demands by exchanging and trading products and services domestically and internationally, enabling access to new and vital products. Commerce serves as a bridge between producers and consumers, facilitating the provision of diverse and new products, flourishing the global markets, and providing new job opportunities. Thus, developing effective and well-regulated trade is integral to fostering national economic progress and improving living standards. Despite the benefits states gain from well-structured commerce, some challenges, such as commercial fraud, still disrupt its integrity.
