Jordan Central Bank hikes rates
The Central Bank of Jordan decided, during its sixth meeting of 2026, to raise interest rates on all monetary policy tools by 25 basis points starting September 21, 2026. The goal is to maintain monetary stability, enhance the attractiveness of the Jordanian dinar, and improve the competitiveness of local assets. This decision is in line with regional and international economic developments, as the kingdom experienced an inflation rate of 2.20% over the first eight months of the year, an increase in tourism income by 2.9% reaching $5.6 billion, a 14.1% rise in worker remittances, and exports reaching $6.6 billion. The Central Bank aims to maintain economic stability and support financial recovery amidst inflationary pressures and global developments.
