Jordanian exports to Europe jump 54%

Jordan's exports to European Union countries jumped 54.3% in January 2026, reaching JD 54 million ($76.2 million) compared to JD 35 million during the same period last year, a performance that reflects both the strength of the Jordanian-European partnership and the growing competitiveness of Jordanian products on international markets.

Ali Murad, President of the European Chamber of Commerce in Jordan (EuroCham Jordan), described the figures as a "tangible improvement" in the capacity of Jordanian products to expand and compete in European markets, citing King Abdullah II's personal role in strengthening economic and investment cooperation with EU partners.

The surge was concentrated in several high-performing sectors: garments and related products, nitrogen fertilizers, chemicals, and raw phosphate and potash, areas where Jordan holds clear competitive advantages in terms of quality, cost and supply capacity.

Murad attributed the growth to improved supply and production chain performance by Jordanian companies, whose commitment to international standards is gaining increasing recognition in European markets.

The Jordanian-European Partnership Agreement, signed in 2002, remains the cornerstone of this trade relationship. Murad described it as "one of the most important milestones" in strengthening bilateral economic cooperation, expanding trade exchange and boosting investment flows over more than two decades.

With overall national exports growing 11.2% annually, Jordan's diversified export strategy, spanning the EU, NAFTA countries and Asian markets,  is proving its resilience and its potential.
