FX.co ★ Jordan Industrial Output Rises the Least in 6 Months

In April 2025, Jordan experienced a year-on-year increase in industrial output of 1.37%, a slight deceleration from the 1.73% rise observed in March. This represented the tenth straight month of industrial growth, though it was the most modest rate since last October, driven by a slowdown in manufacturing expansion—which dipped to 1.21% from 3.38% in March and contributes 88.7% to total production. Conversely, electricity output growth saw an uptick, escalating to 7.15% from 4.02% previously. Quarrying output, however, continued its decline albeit less sharply than before, contracting by 2.11% compared to a steep 23.89% drop. Month-on-month analysis reveals that industrial production decreased by 2.56%, a reversal from the 0.44% increase recorded in March. Over the first four months of 2025, industrial output grew by 2.54% relative to the same timeframe in the preceding year.
