Will debtor imprisonment resume in Jordan
One year after the implementation of the amendments that limit imprisoning debtors in the Enforcement Law, the debate continues regarding their effectiveness in balancing the protection of debtors from imprisonment with ensuring creditors' rights to collect their debts. The amendments, which came into effect in June 2025, have begun to reduce resorting to imprisonment as a means of debt recovery, introducing alternatives such as freezing assets, travel bans, and financial settlements. However, experience has shown that the limited means of enforcement available—particularly in cases where the debtor has no apparent assets—lead to difficulties in executing judicial rulings and recovering debts. This can harm creditors' rights and undermine confidence in financial transactions. Experts believe that the amendments need a more effective system, including additional civil pressure tools such as freezing bank accounts, travel restrictions, and the creation of a credit registry reflecting citizens' financial obligations, to ensure the protection of creditors' rights and promote financial stability.
