Interest rate increases by 25 basis points
The Central Bank of Jordan announced today, Sunday, that it has increased interest rates on all monetary policy tools by 25 basis points, aiming to maintain monetary stability and enhance the attractiveness of the Jordanian dinar. The decision comes in light of a review of local and international economic and monetary developments, as well as the policies of global central banks, amid rising inflation rates reaching 2.20% during the first eight months of 2026. Economic indicators also showed improvements, with tourism income increasing by 2.9% to approximately $5.6 billion, remittances from overseas workers rising by 14.1%, and national exports growing by 7.2%. The bank seeks to maintain market stability and support the strength of the national economy in the face of global challenges.
