AMMAN — Government measures aimed at easing financial pressures on citizens and supporting key sectors have helped boost confidence in the national economy, which grew by 2.8 per cent, while improving public revenues by more than half a billion JDs.

 

According to preliminary fiscal data, Figures for the end of 2025 show that domestic revenues rose by JD578 million, or 6.6 per cent, compared with 2024, reaching JD9.312 billion and achieving 98 per cent of the target set in the 2025 General Budget Law, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

 

The increase was driven by a JD434 million rise in tax revenues, up 6.8 per cent to JD6.839 billion, alongside a JD144 million increase in non-tax revenues, up 6.2 per cent to JD2.473 billion.

 

The improvement reflects higher confidence in the economy amid government efforts to expand the tax base, combat tax and customs evasion, and ease the financial burden on citizens.

 

Key measures included incentives for the real estate sector, such as a 50 per cent reduction in first-time registration fees for apartments larger than 150 square metres, discounts on building and land taxes, and a restructuring of vehicle taxes through lower overall rates.

 

Additional steps supported local industry through incentives in the governorates, adjustments to customs tariffs, zero customs duties on certain goods, a 16 per cent sales tax on postal parcels valued at up to JD200, and the extension of tax and customs settlement committees.
