In June 2025, Jordan experienced a modest growth in industrial output, registering a year-on-year increase of 0.43%. This represents a deceleration from the 0.74% rise observed in May. Notably, this period marked the twelfth consecutive month of industrial activity growth, although it was the slowest increase since June 2024, when output had contracted by 3.02%. The deceleration can be largely attributed to significantly reduced growth in the mining and quarrying sectors, which rose by only 2.68%, down from 10.93% in the previous month. Additionally, there was a marked decline in electricity production, which fell by 9.30% following an 8.26% increase in May. Despite these setbacks, the downturn was somewhat moderated by a recovery in the manufacturing sector, which experienced a gain of 0.97% compared to a decline of 0.32% in May. Manufacturing remains the dominant contributor to overall industrial output. On a monthly basis, industrial production increased by 2.31%, a slight drop from the 2.95% growth noted in May, which had been the most rapid in a year. Over the first half of 2025, industrial output grew by 1.8% compared to the same timeframe in the previous year.
