Jordan in a week: diplomacy and growth
During the past week, Jordan experienced widespread political and diplomatic activity. Notably, King Abdullah II’s visit to China, during which discussions focused on strengthening the strategic partnership and economic and political cooperation. The visit resulted in the signing of agreements and memoranda of understanding, and supported the international stance on the two-state solution and rejection of Israeli measures in the West Bank, with reaffirmation of the Hashemite custodianship over the holy sites in Jerusalem. Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II continued his initiatives supporting youth and investment. Regionally, tensions between Iran and the United States over the Strait of Hormuz took center stage, emphasizing the need to de-escalate. On another front, Jordan condemned Israeli escalation in Palestine and Syria. The government implemented measures to combat begging, and Jordanian exports increased by 14.5% in the first half of 2026. Meanwhile, social security reserves continued to rise, exceeding 19 billion dinars, amid close monitoring of global market developments and fluctuations in gold and oil prices.
