Jordan’s economy remained resilient in 2024 despite the impact of wars in Gaza and Lebanon, which dampened business and consumer confidence and constrained public spending, according to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). In its latest Regional Economic Prospects report released on Tuesday, the EBRD noted that a rebound in tourism during the second half of the year played a key role in supporting economic activity. The government's commitment to fiscal discipline and continued progress on structural reforms also helped sustain resilience and maintain market confidence. In the meantime, unemployment remained high, standing at 21.4 per cent by the end of 2024 while inflation stayed low despite a slight uptick to 2.1 per cent in February 2025, the report read.
