In July 2025, Jordan experienced a 0.88% decrease in producer prices compared to the previous year. This decline has continued for six months in a row and is more pronounced than the adjusted 0.49% drop seen in June. The primary driver of this trend has been sharper cost reductions in the manufacturing industry, which fell by 1.43% this July compared to 1.04% in June. Specific sectors showing notable decreases included food products, which went down by 1.79% compared to a 0.31% reduction previously, paper and paper products falling by 10.42% relative to the earlier 7.63% decrease, and a continued drop in refined petroleum products by 7.39%, though less steep than the previous 11.52% drop. In contrast, inflation in the mining and quarrying sector saw a rise to 6.73% from 5.74%, driven by heightened cost increases in other mining and quarrying, climbing to 6.64% from 5.56%. On a month-to-month basis, producer prices increased slightly by 0.19% in July, following a 0.11% rise in June.
