RIYADH: Jordan’s total exports increased by 8.9 percent year on year in the first nine months of 2025, driven by a 9.1 percent rise in national exports and a 6.5 percent jump in re-exports, new figures revealed.
The Department of Statistics’ monthly foreign trade report showed this growth was accompanied by a 7 percent increase in imports.
The trade deficit widened by 5 percent during the first nine months of this year compared to the same period in 2024, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The figures come as Jordan maintained its long-term sovereign credit rating at “BB-” with a stable outlook in August, according to S&P Global, highlighting the country’s economic resilience despite regional uncertainty. The ratings agency attributed its decision to macroeconomic stability, continued reform progress, and sustained international support.
“The total export-to-import coverage ratio reached 51 percent during the first nine months of this year, compared to 50 percent for the same period last year, marking an increase of one percentage point,” the Petra report stated.
