The rise underscores increased activity in terms of both transaction volume and trade value, signaling a healthy level of economic vitality.
In relation to the broader economy, the market capitalisation of the ASE as a percentage of Jordan's GDP has risen to 57.5%, up from 48.9% at the end of 2024.
The growth highlights the increasing role of the ASE in supporting the national economy and enhancing Jordan's attractiveness as a regional investment destination.
The positive indicators suggest a robust recovery phase for the Amman Stock Exchange and foster cautious optimism that this momentum will continue through the second half of 2025.
Contributing factors include ongoing efforts to enhance transparency, an expanding investor base and improvements in the efficiency of the Jordanian financial market.
