Overview
Jordan's listed companies stood at 158 in 2025, a decline of +4 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 158 by 2025. Jordan ranked 35th globally.
Jordan’s listed‑company count rose from an all‑time trough of 95.00 in 1994 to a peak of 277.00 in 2010, reflecting the liberalisation of its capital markets and the introduction of new regulatory frameworks during the early 2000s. Over the 33‑year span covered, the number of listed firms has fluctuated, falling back to 101.00 in 1993 before climbing steadily to a World Bank‑reported 158.30 in 2025, placing Jordan 35th globally. This 2025 figure remains below the 2010 high but exceeds the early‑1990s low, indicating a moderate long‑term expansion despite periodic setbacks. Compared with regional peers, Jordan’s market size is slightly lower than the United Arab Emirates’ 161.00 and higher than Greece’s 137.30, suggesting a competitive but still developing equity environment in the Middle East. Continued reforms, enhanced investor protection and deeper integration with regional financial hubs could sustain the upward trajectory and potentially narrow the gap with higher‑ranking peers.
