In November 2025, Jordan's industrial output experienced a year-on-year rise of 1.38%, an acceleration from October's increase of 1.19%. This marks the second straight month of growth in the industrial sector, primarily fueled by a significant upswing in mining and quarrying activities, which soared by 16.06% compared to 3.36% in October. Notably, other mining activities rose by 17.43%. In contrast, the manufacturing sector witnessed a slower growth rate of 0.74% compared to 0.95% the previous month. This deceleration was despite notable increases in the production of paper and paper products (8.32%), chemicals and chemical products (11.70%), and the printing and reproduction of recorded media (17.81%). However, these gains were tempered by reductions in the output of food products (-4%), beverages (-2.42%), and wearing apparel (-11.52%). Additionally, production in the electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply sector declined by 1.33%, after recording a 4% increase earlier. On a month-to-month basis, industrial activity rebounded with a 0.74% rise, following a 1.34% decline in October. From January to November, the industrial output was 1.44% higher than in the same period the previous year.
