Overview
Jordan's foreign reserves stood at $22.0B in 2025, a rise of +$92.7M from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $22.0B by 2025. Jordan ranked 60th globally.
Jordan’s foreign‑exchange reserves have risen dramatically from a modest 46,380,000.00 in 1960 to an all‑time high of 22,031,836,449.34 in 2025, placing the kingdom 60th globally. This expansion reflects a combination of sustained current‑account surpluses, remittance inflows, and strategic reserve‑building policies that have outpaced many regional peers. By comparison, New Zealand held 21,171,036,080.53 and Argentina 24,420,191,876.95 at the same point, indicating Jordan’s reserves are competitive with mid‑sized economies despite its smaller export base. The 66‑year coverage shows a long‑term upward trajectory, with the peak coinciding with the post‑COVID‑19 recovery period when capital inflows and aid flows surged. Looking ahead, further diversification of export markets and continued fiscal prudence could sustain reserve growth, while external shocks such as regional instability or sharp commodity price swings would be the primary risks to this positive trend.
