Jordan’s government debt stood at about 47.7 billion dinars at the end of 2025—109% of GDP, or 36.6 billion dinars (83.6%) excluding the holdings of the Social Security Investment Fund. The article attributes its accumulation over two decades to recurring fiscal deficits, external shocks, rising liabilities at public institutions such as the electricity sector, and economic growth too weak to contain spending and debt-service costs. Total debt rose by 14.7 billion dinars, or 44.4%, between the end of 2020 and the end of 2025. The article concludes that temporarily reducing debt through exceptional transactions does not guarantee a sustained decline. Addressing the problem requires reducing the recurring need to borrow and assessing how financing affects productivity, services, and future obligations.
