Khaberni - Moody's announced today that it has affirmed its credit rating for Jordan at Ba3 level, maintaining a stable outlook despite the regional security disturbances.
The agency, in its report, noted that this affirmation reflects Jordan's effective economic and financial institutions, the government's adoption of a number of reforms aimed at maintaining economic and financial stability, sustaining public debt, encouraging investment, and enhancing the efficiency of social spending, in addition to the financial and technical support the country receives from donor countries and international institutions such as the United States and the International Monetary Fund and the European Union.
The agency expected economic growth rates in 2026 to reach about 2.7 percent, rising in the medium term to 3 percent, indicating the possibility of achieving higher economic growth rates than current expectations in light of the government's efforts to accelerate the implementation of foreign investments.
It also expected the current account deficit to reach 6% amidst the regional security disturbances, and a gradual decrease in gross domestic product from 83 percent in 2025 to 76 percent by 2030.
It is worth mentioning that Jordan had reached an agreement a few days ago with the International Monetary Fund for the fifth review of the Extended Fund Facility program and the second review of the Resilience and Sustainability Facility program.
