EBRD Highlights Jordan’s Economic Resilience
The Jordanian economy demonstrated notable resilience during the first half of 2026, despite the negative repercussions of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Economic growth reached 2.9% in the first quarter, supported by strong activity in the agriculture, industry, and trade sectors. International reserves remained at comfortable levels, totaling $26.5 billion, covering more than eight months of imports. Although there were disruptions in energy supplies and the tourism sector, Jordan was able to compensate for declines in mining, construction, and tourism services. Growth is expected to reach 2.8% in 2027, with an easing to 2.5% in 2026 due to regional instability and trade challenges.
