The Committee affirmed the strength of monetary stability in the Kingdom, supported by a notable increase in the Central Bank’s foreign currency reserves—which reached 24.6 billion USD by the end of November 2025, an amount sufficient to cover Jordan’s imports of goods and services for 8.8 months. Inflation also remained stable at a low level of 1.8% during the first eleven months of 2025.
Regarding the performance of the banking sector, total deposits in banks rose by 7.3% year-on-year to 49.3 billion Jordanian dinars by the end of October 2025. Bank credit facilities grew by 3.9%, reaching 36.1 billion dinars. Banks continued to maintain strong financial positions and high liquidity levels, reinforcing the robustness of the Jordanian banking sector and its ability to withstand shocks.
On the economic front, the national economy continued to deliver positive performance in 2025. Tourism revenues increased by 6.5% during the first ten months to reach 6.6 billion USD. Remittances from Jordanian workers abroad rose by 4.1% during the first three quarters, totaling 3.3 billion USD.
