Jordan’s total public debt reached JD44.804 billion by the end of February 2025, according to the Ministry of Finance. This includes JD10.219 billion owed to the Social Security Investment Fund, which increased slightly from January. Overall, public debt now equals 117.4% of the country’s GDP. In January alone, debt rose by 0.8%, and the debt-to-GDP ratio climbed from 116.8% in December 2024 to 117.2% in January 2025. The figures indicate a continuing upward trend in both debt levels and the debt-to-GDP ratio.
Abba Father, in times of financial strain, we ask for Your provision over the people of Jordan. Bring solutions, justice, and relief to those burdened by economic hardship (The Bible, Philippians 4:19).
Lord, we pray for wisdom and diligence for Jordan’s financial leaders. Guide them to make careful, thoughtful decisions that lead to stability and prosperity for all citizens (The Bible, Proverbs 21:5).
