Jordan Frontera

Panorama económico e industrial

Jordan is a small open economy in the Middle East with a nominal GDP of approximately $54 billion in 2025, driven primarily by the services sector (60.7% of GDP) alongside mining of phosphates and potash, tourism, and remittances from Jordanians working abroad. The economy grew at a real rate of 3.1% in 2025 despite headwinds from regional conflict, supported by manufacturing, agriculture, and mining growth. The Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) posted exceptional performance in 2025, with the general index rising approximately 45%, ranking first among Arab markets and 13th globally by Bloomberg. The banking sector dominates listed equities, with Jordan Phosphate Mines and Arab Potash providing significant commodity exposure through the exchange. Jordan maintains a relatively open capital market with no cap on foreign ownership of listed equities, and the Jordanian Dinar is pegged to the US dollar at approximately 1 JOD = 1.41 USD.

Reubicación y residencia

Acceso para inversores extranjeros

Jordan permits foreign nationals to own real estate and listed securities without an ownership cap; non-Jordanian investors held approximately 48% of total ASE market value as of early 2025. Foreign investors can open accounts with Jordan Securities Commission-licensed brokers. Full repatriation of capital and profits is permitted under the Investment Law. Corporate ownership restrictions exist in certain regulated sectors (banking, media, telecommunications) where specific licensing rules apply. The JOD is pegged to the USD at a fixed rate, eliminating currency conversion risk for dollar-based investors.
