The Central Bank of Jordan’s Open Market Operations Committee raised interest rates on all monetary policy instruments by 25 basis points, effective Sept. 21, 2026. The move seeks to maintain monetary stability and support the attractiveness of the Jordanian dinar and dinar denominated assets by aligning domestic rates with regional and international financial market trends amid rising inflationary pressures. Jordan’s inflation rate increased to 2.20% in the first eight months of 2026 from 1.86% a year earlier. The decision also followed a review of domestic and international economic and monetary conditions, including continued growth in tourism income, remittances and national exports.
