Amman, Aug 13 (Petra) – Jordan’s domestic revenues rose by about JD164.7 million in the first half of 2025, reaching JD4.669 billion, compared with JD4.504 billion during the same period last year.
Public debt at the end of June 2025 stood at around JD35.3 billion, or 90.9 percent of GDP, down from 92.7 percent in May. The decrease followed the Ministry of Finance’s repayment of maturing Eurobonds in June worth $1 billion, financed through concessional loans obtained in March and April at a competitive interest rate of 4.8 percent, avoiding the issuance of new Eurobonds that could have carried rates of around 9 percent amid current exceptional global and regional conditions.
