AMMAN — The Open Market Operations Committee of the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) on Thursday decided at its first meeting of 2026 to keep the main policy rate, along with all interest rates on monetary policy instruments, unchanged. The CBJ said the decision reflects continued monetary stability in the Kingdom and aims to ensure alignment between domestic interest rates and those in regional and international financial markets, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. Inflation averaged 1.77 per cent in 2025, a level the bank described as appropriate for supporting economic competitiveness and preserving purchasing power. Latest economic data showed positive performance across external sector indicators, in line with CBJ projections. Total exports grew by 7.7 per cent during the first ten months of 2025 to $ 12.1 billion.
