In the third quarter of 2025, Jordan's economy exhibited a year-on-year growth of 2.8%, according to preliminary data. This growth is consistent with the previous quarter, yet it represents the most significant expansion since the third quarter of 2023, reflecting the country's economic stability amid challenges posed by the Gaza conflict and tensions between Israel and Iran. The growth was predominantly fueled by notable increases in several sectors: mining and quarrying rose by 7.4%, agriculture, forestry, and fishing by 6.3%, manufacturing by 5.1%, electricity supply by 4.6%, and transport and storage by 4.0%. Manufacturing was the most significant contributor to the overall growth, adding 0.89 percentage points. The Department of Statistics has revised its measurement methodologies and now reports growth figures using the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC). This classification organizes economic activities into 20 sectors, an expansion from the previous 14 under the earlier ISIC framework.
