Jordan Q2 GDP Annual Growth Strongest in Near 2 Years

Jordan’s economy expanded by 2.8% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2025, accelerating from 2.7% growth in the previous quarter. This marked the strongest GDP expansion since Q3 2023, supported by a mix of monetary, fiscal, and structural measures that maintained economic stability despite pressures linked to the war between Iran and Israel. GDP growth was mainly driven by rises in the agricultural sector (8.6%), followed by manufacturing (5%), electricity and water (4.9%), and social and personal services (4%). From a value-added perspective, financial services, insurance, and real estate remained the largest GDP contributors at 18.3%, marginally outpacing manufacturing at 18.2%. Government services accounted for 12.6%, while wholesale and retail trade, hotels, and restaurants made up 9.5%, and transport, storage, and telecommunications contributed 9%.
