what happened

Industrial exports from Jordan grew by more than 90% between 2020 and 2025, climbing from JD4.7 billion to nearly JD8.9 billion, according to Reuters. Fathi Jaghbir, head of the Jordan and Amman chambers of industry, said the sector accounted for 40% of the kingdom's economic growth last year and credited royal backing with boosting output and jobs.

Speaking at an event hosted by the Rakhaa Businessmen Association, Jaghbir called for closer ties between manufacturers and traders, including sharing data on market demand and investment prospects. Association chair Rasmi Mallah said local producers had proved adaptable during the COVID-19 pandemic, helping keep food and drug supplies steady.

why it matters

For markets, this is a trade and industry update rather than a release likely to move prices. Still, the figures point to a growing manufacturing base in Jordan, which may interest investors tracking exports from developing economies.
