Amman, Aug. 11 (Petra) — Jordan’s stationery market is well supplied
with a wide range of products and quantities, while prices for most
items remain stable compared with the previous period, president of
the Stationery, Bookshops and Office Equipment Traders and
Manufacturers Association, Mohammad Hujeir, said on Tuesday.

Hujeir told the Jordan News Agency (Petra) that markets had ample
supplies of various types of stationery and that prices for most
products had not increased.

Purchasing activity remains weak, he said, but is expected to improve
after salaries are paid, particularly with the approaching
back-to-school season.

The bookstores and stationery sector faces a growing challenge during
the school season from other businesses entering the stationery
market, Hujeir said, noting that clothing stores, household goods
shops, and variety stores are selling large quantities of stationery
products.

Public and private schools across Jordan are scheduled to begin the
2026/2027 academic year in late August, while bookstores and
stationery shops are preparing for one of the sector’s most important
commercial seasons.
