AMMAN: Jordan's foreign reserves stood at $22.02 billion at the end of March, according to figures released by the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) on Wednesday.

CBJ Governor Adel Sharkas in February noted that foreign exchange reserves exceeded $21 billion at the end of 2024, dollarisation fell to 18.4 per cent, and inflation went down to 1.6 per cent in 2024 and is expected to remain around 2 per cent in 2025.
