Jordan Producer Prices Hit Over 2-Year Low

Producer prices in Jordan fell 2.9% year-on-year in January 2026, slipping further from a 1.3% drop in the previous month. This marked the twelfth consecutive period of producer deflation and the steepest since September 2023, driven by a faster decline in manufacturing costs (-3.5% vs -1.8% in December 2025), particularly food products (-5.1% vs -3.1%) and refined petroleum products (-12.0% vs -3.4%). Meanwhile, price growth eased for mining and quarrying (3.6% vs 4.4%), due to moderated costs in other mining and quarrying activities (3.3% vs 4.6%), while extraction costs for crude oil and natural gas rebounded sharply (22.2% vs -5.1%). Costs also continued to rise for electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply (0.8% vs 0.3%). On a monthly basis, producer prices fell 0.8%, unchanged from the previous month.

Producer prices in Jordan dropped 1.3% year-on-year in December 2025, slipping further from a 0.8% fall in November.

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%).
