Jordan's Industrial Production Index rose to 88.96 points between January and September, up from 87.67 points in the same period last year, based on 2018 as the reference year.

The increase reflects higher manufacturing output and electricity production.

Within the manufacturing sector, which accounts for approximately 89% of the index, activity grew by 1.45%.

Meanwhile, the electricity output saw a stronger 3.24% rise due to expanded generation capacity and increasing demand.

However, mining and quarrying activity decreased by 0.87%, indicating lower extraction volumes.

On a regional level, Jordan's industrial growth stands in contrast to varying economic conditions across neighboring countries.

For example, Saudi Arabia experienced an Industrial Production Index increase of 9.3% year-on-year in September, driven by gains across the manufacturing, mining, and quarrying sectors, as reported by the General Authority for Statistics.

Jordan's trade performance remained robust.

National exports grew by 8%, with re-exports up 4.8%, during the first eight months of 2025.

Total exports saw a 7.7% year-on-year increase, while imports expanded by 5.6%, leading to a widening trade deficit of 3.5%.

Despite this positive trend, industrial output showed signs of softening towards the end of the period, with September marking an 0.8% year-on-year decrease and a 3.58% drop from August.

The monthly data revealed a 1.32% decline in manufacturing activity, balanced by 3.39% increases in both mining and electricity output.
