The annual inflation rate in Jordan slowed for the first time in four months to 1.68% in July 2025, down from June’s four-month high of 2.02%. This marked the lowest inflation rate since March, largely due to a deceleration in prices for several key categories: food and non-alcoholic beverages (1.71% vs 2.83% in June), alcohol and tobacco (5.08% vs 12.50%), communication ( 2.31% vs 2.32%), and other goods and services (2.52% vs 2.60%).

In addition, prices declined more sharply for both transportation (-0.90% vs -0.59%) and recreation and culture (-1.58% vs -1.11%).
