The Jordan Securities Commission published a market update reporting record performance on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) from end-2024 through the current 2025 period, with listed-company market capitalisation up 26.31% to JOD22.3 billion by end-July 2025, the highest level since 2010. Average daily trading value also rose 83.15% over the same comparison period, and the Commission linked the results to reforms to the investment environment, including updated licensing and accreditation rules for financial services companies, financial solvency standards, and strengthened supervision of public shareholding companies’ disclosures. Sector data showed industrial companies recording the strongest market-value growth at about 42% to JOD9.19 billion, supported by improved results in extractive mining companies, particularly phosphate and potash products; the financial sector rose by more than 21% to JOD10.45 billion, while services increased 4.16% to JOD2.64 billion. Average daily trading reached about JOD7.58 million in 2025 versus JOD4.14 million in 2024, with trading activity led by the industrial sector (about 130% increase), followed by the financial sector (76.24%) and services (66.20%); the ASE General Index reached 2,914.79 points by end-July 2025, described as its highest level since 2009. The Commission expects positive market momentum to continue in the near term, citing economic stability, plans to develop market infrastructure, and diversification of financial instruments and services, alongside initiatives such as the electronic wallet and measures to encourage institutional investment.
