In December 2025, Jordan's annual inflation rate climbed slightly to 1.31%, up from November's 13-month low of 1.28%. This small acceleration was mainly due to more significant increases in costs associated with housing (3.05% compared to 2.60% in November), transportation (0.45% opposed to 0.04%), health (0.36% against 0.32%), and cultural and recreational activities (1.45% compared to 1.31%). In contrast, price growth slowed for clothing and footwear (1.39% down from 1.42%) and communication (2.40% compared to 2.48%), while prices for household furnishings and equipment remained steady after a previous increase of 1.17%. Alternatively, food and non-alcoholic beverage prices continued to fall, showing a decline of -1.28% versus a previous -0.19%. On a month-to-month basis, consumer prices increased by 0.68% in December, recovering from a 0.31% decrease in November. This marks the most substantial monthly rise since June 2022.
