Jordan Producer Price Deflation Eases in March

2026-05-04 09:56 By Erika Ordonez 1 min. read

Producer prices in Jordan fell 1.66% year-on-year in March 2026, easing from a 2.57% decline in the previous month.

This marked the fourteenth consecutive period of producer deflation, albeit at a softer pace, as manufacturing costs declined more slowly (-1.87% vs -3.35% in February), particularly due to smaller price decreases in food products, printing and reproduction of recorded media, refined petroleum products, and basic metals.

Meanwhile, price growth moderated in electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply (1.0% vs 1.5%), while prices in the mining and quarrying sector declined (-1.13% vs +6.37%), largely driven by a 1.07% fall in the cost of other mining and quarrying activities and a continued contraction in the extraction of crude oil and natural gas (-4.47%).

On a monthly basis, producer prices rose 1.17% in March, accelerating from 0.18% in the previous month.
