Wirtschafts- und Branchenüberblick
Jordan is a small, open, upper-middle-income economy in the Middle East with a nominal GDP of approximately 50.6 billion USD in 2024. The economy is anchored by services, particularly finance, trade, tourism, and transportation, alongside phosphate and potash mining, which are major export earners. Jordan has maintained macroeconomic stability underpinned by its long-standing exchange-rate peg to the US dollar and prudent central bank management. Growth has been moderate, supported by manufacturing, agriculture, and services, though the economy faces structural headwinds including high public debt, a chronic current-account deficit, heavy dependence on foreign aid and remittances, and persistently elevated unemployment. The country is a key regional hub for healthcare, education, and logistics, and has pursued trade agreements, including a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement with the UAE activated in 2025, to broaden its economic base.

The Amman Stock Exchange operates a standard T+2 settlement cycle. Foreign ownership limits apply on a company-by-company basis and in certain sectors such as banking and media. There is no capital gains tax on equity trading for individuals in Jordan. Dividend withholding tax applies at rates that vary by treaty and investor type. Direct retail access for non-resident foreign investors typically requires engagement with a local licensed broker; some international frontier-market brokers may offer indirect access via contracts for difference or fund vehicles.

Umzug & Aufenthalt
Investment-Visa / Residenzprogramm
Förderprogramme Residency (5-year renewable) or Citizenship (discretionary, capped program)
Jordan offers two investment-based immigration pathways. The first is a residency-by-investment program under which foreign investors who purchase real estate valued at a minimum of 200,000 Jordanian dinars (approximately 282,000 USD) from licensed developers receive a five-year renewable residency permit, provided property ownership is maintained throughout the period. The second is a citizenship-by-investment program, substantially restructured by a Cabinet decision on 2 July 2025, which replaced earlier passive treasury-bond and bank-deposit routes with active investment routes. These routes include investment in listed Jordanian securities from approximately 1,000,000 Jordanian dinars (about 1,400,000 USD), establishment of new business projects, creation of Jordanian employment, and sector-specific routes in pharmaceuticals and logistics. The citizenship program is capped at approximately 500 approvals per year, requires no minimum residency period, and provides eligibility for the US E-2 investor visa through a 1997 bilateral treaty. Both programs are administered by the Jordan Investment Commission under the Investment Environment Law No. 21 of 2022.

Zugang für ausländische Investoren
Jordan is a politically stable constitutional monarchy and a regional hub for education, healthcare, and business services. Amman offers a relatively developed expatriate infrastructure with international schools, medical facilities, and a lower cost of living compared with Gulf cities. The Jordanian dinar is pegged to the US dollar, providing currency stability for resident investors. Foreign nationals holding investor residency permits may sponsor immediate family members. There is no general income tax on foreign-source income for residents, though local income is subject to Jordanian personal income tax. Arabic is the official language, with English widely used in business and professional environments.
