Jordan’s industrial output grew by 0.35% year-on-year in December 2025, slowing from a downwardly revised 0.69% increase in November. The moderation was mainly driven by a contraction in manufacturing output, which fell 0.40% after a 0.41% rise in the previous month. Within manufacturing, production declined notably in beverages (-26.81%), wearing apparel (-14.50%), and paper and paper products (-0.69%). These falls partly offset strong gains in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers (42.20%), as well as in computer, electronic, and optical products (3.87%).

By contrast, mining and quarrying output accelerated, rising 11.64% compared with 7.87% in November. The increase was led by a surge in the extraction of crude oil and natural gas (20.65%) and solid growth in other mining activities (11.50%). Additionally, electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply rebounded, registering a 1.94% increase after a 1.33% decline in the previous month.

On a monthly basis, industrial activity advanced 0.52% in December, picking up from a 0.06% gain in November. For the whole of 2025, industrial output was 1.29% higher than in the previous year.
