Amman: The Central Bank of Jordan has decided to raise interest rates on all monetary policy instruments by 25 basis points, effective Monday.

According to Qatar News Agency, the Bank's Open Market Operations Committee stated, following its sixth meeting of 2026, that the decision aligns with the Bank's objective of maintaining monetary stability. The increase aims to enhance the attractiveness of the Jordanian dinar and strengthen the competitiveness of dinar-denominated assets by aligning domestic interest rates with prevailing levels in regional and international financial markets.

The Committee further explained that the decision came after a comprehensive review of the latest economic, monetary, and fiscal developments at the domestic, regional, and international levels. It also considered the monetary policy directions adopted by central banks and measures taken to address mounting inflationary pressures.
