According to reports, Arab investments accounted for the largest share, representing 62% of total inflows, reflecting the strength of economic ties and growing regional confidence in the Jordanian market.

Sectoral distribution of investments shows the financial and insurance sector leading with 34.4%, followed by manufacturing industries at 10.7%, and logistics and real estate at 7.4%. Analysts note that the concentration of investments in these sectors enhances economic value added and directly contributes to the creation of sustainable job opportunities.

Reports by the Jordan Strategy Forum and the Investor Confidence Survey concluded that 2025 represents a phase of “gradual maturity” for Jordan’s investment structure, where capital attraction was matched by genuine efforts to address operational challenges. This has enhanced Jordan’s competitiveness as a safe and stable regional hub for investment.
