The total value of exports increased by 8.9% compared to the same period in 2024. This growth coincided with a 7.0% rise in imports, resulting in a 5.0% increase in the trade deficit during the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
The coverage ratio of total exports to imports reached 51% during the first nine months of 2025, compared to 50% for the same period in 2024, marking a one-percentage-point increase. For September alone, the coverage ratio was 53%, compared to 54% in the same month of 2024, a decrease of one percentage point.
The total value of exports during this period amounted to JOD 7,690 million, of which national exports accounted for JOD 6,997 million and re-exports for JOD 693 million, while imports reached JOD 14,986 million during the same period.
Accordingly, the trade deficit (the difference between total exports and imports) reached JOD 7,296 million during the first nine months of 2025, an increase of JOD 348 million compared to the same period in 2024.
In September 2025, total exports amounted to JOD 979 million, including JOD 899 million in national exports and JOD 80 million in re-exports, while imports totaled JOD 1,830 million, resulting in a trade deficit of JOD 851 million for the month.
Total exports in September 2025 rose by 17.1% compared to the same month in 2024, with national exports up 16.9% and re-exports up 19.4%. Imports increased by 17.8%, leading to an 18.5% rise in the trade deficit.
The increase in national exports was concentrated in the sectors of “nitrogen or chemical fertilizers,” “jewelry and precious items,” “pharmaceutical preparations,” “raw phosphate,” and “raw potash,” which helped support national exports despite a slight decline in the “apparel and related products” sector. Regarding imports, the value of “machinery and mechanical tools,” “jewelry and precious items,” and “electrical machinery and equipment” rose. However, declines in “crude oil and its derivatives,” “vehicles and bicycles,” and “grains” helped limit the overall increase in imports (see Table 1).
