Jordan Producer Price Deflation Eases in November

Producer prices in Jordan dropped 1.3% year-on-year in December 2025, slipping further from a 0.8% fall in November. This marks the eleventh consecutive period of producer deflation and the steepest in three months, driven by a faster decline in manufacturing costs (-1.8% vs -1.1% in November), particularly food products (-3.1% vs -2.2%), refined petroleum products (-3.4% vs -3.6%), and basic metals (-13.1% vs -12.5%). Meanwhile, price growth eased for mining and quarrying (4.4% vs 7.2%), due to a decline in extraction costs of crude oil and natural gas slowed (-5.1% vs -6.5%), and the increase in prices of other mining and quarrying activities moderated (4.6% vs 7.4%). Costs also rebounded for electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply (0.3% vs -2.4%). On a monthly basis, producer prices fell 0.8%, following a 0.5% gain in November.

Producer prices in Jordan fell 0.69% year-on-year in November 2025, easing from a 0.87% decline in the previous month. This marked the tenth consecutive period of producer deflation but was the softest drop since July, as manufacturing costs fell at a slower pace (-1.03% vs -1.29% in October), particularly due to moderated price declines in food products and paper and paper products, alongside a rebound in printing and reproduction of recorded media. At the same time, price growth accelerated in the mining and quarrying sector (7.16% vs 3.88%), largely driven by a 7.40% surge in the cost of other mining and quarrying activities. Meanwhile, prices for electricity slipped by 2.43%, compared with a 1.39% rise in October. On a monthly basis, producer prices rose 0.57% in November, reversing a 0.34% fall in the preceding period.

Producer prices in Jordan fell 0.9% year-on-year in October 2025, marking the ninth consecutive month of deflation and moderating from a 1.8% decline in the previous month. The slowdown was primarily driven by a smaller decrease in manufacturing costs (-1.29% vs -1.77% in September) and a rebound in the mining and quarrying sector (3.88% vs -5.32%), led by other mining and quarrying activities (4.08% vs -5.40%). These gains were partially offset by further declines in crude oil and natural gas prices (-7.51% vs -0.27%). On a monthly basis, producer prices fell 0.34% in October, following a 0.94% drop in September.
