Inflation at 2.13% in first half
The General Statistics Department report showed that the inflation rate in Jordan for the first seven months of 2026 reached 2.13%, up from 1.94% during the same period in 2025. In July 2026, inflation stood at 2.7%, compared to 1.68% in July 2025, representing a slight decrease of 0.18% from the previous June. The rise in inflation was driven by contributions from sectors such as rents (0.71 percentage points), transportation (0.52 percentage points), oils and fats (0.26 percentage points), and tobacco and cigarettes (0.17 percentage points). Conversely, decreases in prices of certain items like fruits and nuts (a decline of 0.2 percentage points), meats and poultry (0.07 percentage points), and dairy and eggs (0.05 percentage points) helped balance the inflation rate during the month. The calculation of inflation is based on a basket of 850 goods and services, including 325 food items and 525 non-food items, with data collected from 3,400 establishments.
