Jordan growth accelerates to 3% as Morocco sees slowdown in Q2

Jordan’s economy recorded a 3% growth rate in the second quarter of 2026, marking an increase from the 2.8% growth observed in 2025. This expansion was primarily supported by robust performance within the agricultural and manufacturing sectors, even as the nation navigated challenges related to regional conflicts.

Conversely, Morocco experienced an economic deceleration during the same period, with growth falling to 4% from 5.8% the previous year. This downturn in the Moroccan economy is attributed to a decline in non-agricultural activities.
