Fitch Rating Underscores Jordan’s Economic Resilience, Says Trade Official

by

Amman: The recent decision by Fitch Ratings to affirm Jordan’s long-term foreign-currency issuer default rating at ‘BB-‘ with a stable outlook signals continued confidence in the Kingdom’s economic resilience and reform trajectory, according to Firas Sultan, the financial and banking sector representative at the Jordan Chamber of Commerce.

According to Jordan News Agency, Sultan said the rating affirmation reflects Jordan’s ability to maintain macroeconomic stability and weather regional challenges through prudent fiscal and monetary policies. He noted that despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly the war in Gaza and its financial repercussions, Jordan has upheld investor confidence and maintained access to both domestic and international financing sources.

He emphasized that the rating reflects the country’s consistent progress in fiscal and administrative reforms, as well as the government’s commitment to structural adjustments that enhance economic productivity and institutional efficiency. Th
ese efforts, he said, have helped position Jordan as a stable and credible player in a region facing chronic instability.

Sultan stressed that the resilience of the banking sector, characterized by strong liquidity, sound risk management, and full compliance with international regulatory standards, has played a critical role in sustaining financial system stability and reinforcing international trust in Jordan’s financial institutions.

He added that Fitch’s decision underscores the strategic importance of Jordan’s international partnerships, particularly with the United States and multilateral donors, which continue to provide essential financial and political support. This backing, Sultan said, enhances the Kingdom’s fiscal flexibility and strengthens its external buffers.

Sultan also highlighted the importance of monetary policy credibility, noting that the Central Bank of Jordan’s approach has safeguarded foreign reserves and maintained a stable exchange rate. He credited the Central Bank with navigatin
g global financial turbulence effectively, thereby shielding the economy from external shocks.

“The affirmation of this rating is not just a reflection of where Jordan stands today,” Sultan said, “but a recognition of the comprehensive reform agenda the government is implementing to transition toward a more competitive, productive, and open economy.”

He pointed out that Fitch’s outlook is aligned with the objectives of Jordan’s Economic Modernization Vision (EMV), which aims to raise growth rates, expand job creation, and empower the private sector as the main engine of sustainable development.

Fitch Ratings, founded in 1913 and headquartered in New York and London, is one of the three major global credit rating agencies, alongside Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s.

Army Foils Drug Smuggling Attempt on Eastern Frontier

Amman: The Jordan Armed Forces (JAF) operating in the Eastern Military Zone intercepted a major drug smuggling operation early Thursday along the border with Syria, preventing large quantities of narcotics from entering the Kingdom.

According to Jordan News Agency, the General Command of the Jordan Armed Forces – Arab Army issued a statement detailing that border guard units, in coordination with military security services and the Anti-Narcotics Department, successfully foiled the infiltration attempt as it occurred along the designated area of responsibility.

The source confirmed that the seized narcotics have been handed over to the relevant authorities for further investigation and legal procedures. The military emphasized that the armed forces remain fully committed to safeguarding Jordan’s borders and national security, vowing to continue deploying all available resources to combat smuggling and infiltration attempts.

Al-Khurma Trail Poised to Become Petra’s New Gateway for Adventure Tourism

by

Petra: In a move to expand Jordan’s adventure tourism offerings, 26 specialized tour operators gathered this week to explore and promote the Al-Khurma Trail, a new experiential route in Petra that blends rugged exploration with deep cultural immersion.

According to Jordan News Agency, the trail has been developed and managed by the Jabal Masouda Cooperative Society, aiming to attract tourists seeking more than Petra’s iconic monuments. Al-Khurma offers an integrated experience that draws on the intangible Bedouin heritage recognized by UNESCO.

The activities along the trail include mountain hiking, traditional desert camping, preparing Bedouin cuisine, and cultural exchanges with local communities, all set against the dramatic backdrop of Petra’s natural landscape.

Fares Breizat, Chair of the Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority (PDTRA), hailed the trail as a cornerstone of sustainable tourism. “Al-Khurma doesn’t just diversify Petra’s tourism portfolio, it empowers local communities and preserves the cultural DNA of the region,” he said.

The promotional event also featured a workshop led by environmental and heritage researcher Qais Al-Twaisi, who outlined the trail’s development phases and highlighted its environmental and cultural value. A strategic marketing discussion followed, led by PDTRA’s Director of Marketing and International Cooperation, Sabri Al-Fodoul, focusing on positioning the trail within Jordan’s broader tourism strategy.

Tour operators expressed strong interest in incorporating the trail into adventure packages. Several described Al-Khurma as “a hidden gem” with the potential to appeal to high-value travelers looking for immersive, off-the-beaten-path experiences.
