Jordan's Gold Reserves Reach JD 5.455 Billion as Foreign Reserves Decline Post Eurobond Repayment

Jordan’s gold reserves surged to a record high of JD 5.455 billion by the end of June 2025, according to data released by the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ).اضافة اعلان

The value corresponds to 2.341 million ounces of gold, marking a significant rise in the country’s precious metal holdings.

Conversely, foreign currency reserves dropped to USD 22 billion, reflecting a 3% decline. The central bank attributed this decrease to the government’s repayment of a USD 1 billion Eurobond, which matured during the period.

Despite the dip, the foreign reserves remain robust, sufficient to cover Jordan’s imports of goods and services for approximately 8.4 months, a level still considered comfortable by international standards.

Previously, Jordan’s foreign reserves had reached a record USD 22.763 billion.

This latest development underscores a strategic shift by the Central Bank, boosting gold reserves as a hedge amid global uncertainties, while continuing to meet international financial obligations.
