RIYADH: Jordan’s industrial sector saw exports rising by 7.5 percent in the first eight months of 2025 compared to the same period last year, according to official data.
The nation’s industrial exports from January to August reached 5.56 billion Jordanian dinars ($7.84 billion), up from 5.17 billion dinars recorded during the same period in 2024, the Jordan News Agency, also known as Petra, reported, citing data from the Jordan Chamber of Industry.
This strong performance means industrial exports accounted for 91 percent of Jordan’s total national exports, which grew 8 percent year on year to reach 6.09 billion dinars.
This positive data comes as Jordan actively positions its industrial sector as a primary engine for economic growth, job creation, and trade-deficit reduction, in line with the nation’s Economic Modernization Vision, which aims to make the country a regional hub for high-value exports.
The JCI attributed the growth to the industrial sector’s “high flexibility and ability to adapt to external challenges.” This export-led expansion remains a critical factor in narrowing the trade deficit and increasing the industry’s contribution to the national economy.
