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.
