Jordanian Exports to EU Jump Seventy-two Percent in Early 2026
Data from the Department of Statistics, as reported by the Jordan News Agency, indicated that exports to the EU increased significantly by 72.3%, reaching JD112 million, compared with JD65 million in the same period in 2025.
A major contributor to this growth was a sharp rise in shipments to the Netherlands, which climbed by 314.3% to JD29 million.
Exports to Free Trade Zone (FTZ) countries remained broadly stable at JD533 million, slightly below JD536 million recorded a year earlier. Officials noted that performance across markets was influenced by shifting global demand and uneven economic recovery conditions.
Regional trade patterns showed variation. Exports to Syria rose by 41.7% to JD51 million, while exports to Saudi Arabia declined by 6.9% to JD135 million. Shipments to Iraq also dropped by 17.7% to JD116 million.
Trade with Asian markets showed steady improvement, with exports to non-Arab Asian countries increasing by 8.8% to JD260 million. Exports to China also rose modestly by 2.4% to JD43 million.
Other economic blocs recorded stronger gains overall, rising by 25.8% to JD117 million. Switzerland stood out with a significant increase of 151.7%, reaching JD73 million.
In contrast, exports to North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) countries declined by 13.2% to JD328 million. Shipments to the United States specifically fell by 14%, totaling JD314 million.
Overall, the data reflects a diversified export performance, with strong growth in European and select Asian markets offset by declines in North American trade.
