Jordan’s GDP rises in second quarter

Mubasher: Jordan’s gross domestic product rose in the second quarter of 2015 to reach JOD 6.38 billion ($8.96 billion).

The improvement came after a decline for two successive quarters, as GDP fell to JOD 6.77 billion in Q4-14 and to JOD 6.02 billion in Q1-15.

Jordan has successfully overcome difficult regional conditions and managed to achieve positive economic performance in the last decade, as shown in the rise in GDP to $35 billion in 2014 from $8 billion in 2000, said Industry Minister Maha Ali.
