The Jordan Securities Commission announced Saturday that the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) has registered record-breaking performance, its best in more than 15 years. From late 2024 through mid-2025, the bourse’s market capitalization surged by 26.31%, while average daily trading volumes grew by 83.15%, alongside strong improvements across all major sector indices.
According to the Commission, the total market capitalization of listed companies reached JD 22.3 billion at the end of July 2025, compared to JD 17.65 billion at the end of 2024—its highest level since 2010.
Data showed the industrial sector posted the strongest gains, with market value climbing around 42% to JD 9.19 billion, supported by solid performance from extractive mining companies, particularly phosphate and potash producers. The financial sector’s market cap grew by more than 21% to JD 10.45 billion, driven by banks and investment firms, while the services sector rose 4.16% to JD 2.64 billion.
Trading activity also rose sharply, with average daily turnover hitting JD 7.58 million in 2025, up from JD 4.14 million in 2024, an increase of 83.15%. The industrial sector saw the most notable rise at nearly 130%, followed by financials at 76.24%, and services at 66.20%. This uptick boosted market liquidity, increased revenues for brokers and financial service providers, and positively reflected on overall market performance.
In terms of indices, the ASE General Index (ASEGI) nearly doubled—up about 92% from its lowest levels in recent years—reaching 2,914.79 points by the end of July 2025, compared to 1,551.37 in November 2020. This marks the highest point since 2009, with the industrial sector serving as the main growth driver, the financial sector maintaining steady upward momentum, and services showing stable performance.
The Securities Commission affirmed that these positive results reflect government measures to enhance the investment environment and strengthen investor confidence. Initiatives include updating financial services licensing regulations, setting new solvency standards, tightening oversight of public company disclosures, and implementing Economic Modernization Vision projects such as e-wallet systems and encouraging institutional investment.
Improved corporate performance and stronger financial results of listed firms also played a key role, fueled by rising regional demand for Jordanian industrial exports and investor interest in dividends.
Looking ahead, the Commission expects the market’s positive momentum to continue in the near term, supported by macroeconomic stability, ongoing market infrastructure development, and diversification of financial instruments and services. It stressed that Jordan’s capital market will remain a central platform for financing companies, spurring economic growth, attracting investment, creating jobs, and supporting government revenues.
