The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a constitutional monarchy with Arabic as its official language. World Bank indicators report approximately 11.5 million residents and nominal GDP of US$61.6 billion for 2025. Pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, information technology, healthcare, tourism and professional services are important business sectors.
Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision, investment framework and development-zone arrangements support eligible private investment. Opportunities include export-oriented manufacturing, logistics, food processing and specialized services. Foreign-participation conditions, incentives and preferential trade treatment depend on the activity, location and applicable origin rules.
