Overview
Jordan's credit to gdp stood at 80.43% in 2025, a rise of +0.27% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 80.43% by 2025. Jordan ranked 26th globally.
Jordan’s credit to GDP ratio has risen markedly from an all‑time trough of 14.77 in 1965 to a peak of 91.77 in 2006, before settling at 80.43 in 2025, ranking 26th worldwide. This trajectory reflects a sustained expansion of domestic borrowing capacity, driven by fiscal reforms and increased private‑sector financing after the early 2000s. The 2025 level is only slightly below the peak reached in 2006, indicating that the country has maintained a high degree of credit availability for over a decade. Compared with peers, Jordan’s ratio is close to Luxembourg’s 80.84 and Honduras’s 79.15, and exceeds Germany’s 78.90, suggesting a credit environment more expansive than many advanced economies. The 61‑year coverage shows that the upward trend has been persistent, with only modest fluctuations since the mid‑2000s. Continued diversification of the financial sector and prudent debt management could keep the ratio stable or modestly higher, while any sharp slowdown in growth or external shocks might reverse the current trajectory.
