Jordan Frontera

Panorama económico e industrial

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.

Acceso para inversores extranjeros

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.
