AMMAN: Jordan’s economy is expected to maintain steady growth over the next three years, reaching 3 percent by 2028 despite ongoing global economic uncertainty and regional geopolitical tensions, according to the latest World Bank projections.
In its Global Economic Prospects report released on Thursday, the World Bank forecast Jordan’s economy to expand by 2.7 percent in 2026, rising to 2.9 percent in 2027 before reaching 3 percent the following year.
The report said Jordan is likely to benefit from strong global fertilizer prices, which are expected to support export revenues and help offset some of the economic pressures facing energy-importing countries across the region.
The World Bank noted that economies in the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan are facing mounting challenges linked to regional instability, higher energy costs and disruptions to shipping and trade routes.
Regional growth is projected to slow sharply to 1.6 percent in 2026, down from around 4 percent in 2025, reflecting the economic impact of ongoing conflicts and heightened uncertainty.
