AMMAN — Jordan’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 2.9 per cent in the first quarter of 2026, up from 2.7 per cent in the same period of 2025, according to quarterly estimates issued by the Department of Statistics (DoS) on Tuesday.
The report also showed that all economic activities recorded notable growth during the first quarter of 2026 compared with the same period last year, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
On the sectoral level, agriculture recorded the highest growth rate of 6.8 per cent, followed by manufacturing at 5.3 per cent, mining and quarrying at 4.7 per cent, and electricity supply at 4.3 per cent.
The report noted that the growth reflects Jordan’s ability to manage the economic repercussions of the ongoing regional escalation, maintaining stable growth despite exceptional challenges.
It attributed the improved performance to government economic, fiscal and monetary measures, implemented through a series of decisions aimed at stimulating economic activity across various sectors, particularly industrial activity.
