Jordan Securities Commission: Amman Stock Exchange Records Record Highest Market Capitalization Since 2010

The Jordan Securities Commission confirmed on Saturday that these positive results reflect the government's efforts to improve the investment environment and enhance investor confidence through the development of legislation governing capital market institutions. This includes the amended regulations for licensing and accrediting financial services companies, the financial solvency standards system, and enhanced oversight of disclosures issued by public shareholding companies. Additionally, initiatives supporting the financial market, such as the electronic wallet and efforts to encourage institutional investment in the financial market, have been implemented.

The Commission announced that the Amman Stock Exchange recorded record performance, its best in over 15 years. This was evident from the end of 2024 to the present in 2025, with a 26.31% growth in market capitalization and an 83.15% increase in the average daily trading volume, along with a significant improvement in the main indicators across all sectors.

According to the Securities Commission, the total market capitalization of companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange rose to JD 22.3 billion at the end of July 2025, compared to approximately JD 17.65 billion at the end of 2024, representing a growth rate of 26.31%, the highest value since 2010.

The Commission's data indicated that the industrial sector recorded the highest growth rate during the same period, with its market capitalization increasing by approximately 42% to reach JD 9.19 billion, supported by improved performance in the mining and extractive industries, particularly in phosphate and potash production. The data also showed that the market capitalization of the financial sector rose by more than 21% to reach JD 10.45 billion, driven by the activity of banks and investment companies, while the services sector recorded growth of 4.16% to reach JD 2.64 billion in market capitalization.

The market also witnessed a significant increase in trading volume. The average daily trading volume reached approximately 7.58 million dinars in 2025, compared to 4.14 million dinars in 2024, marking an increase of 83.15%. The industrial sector saw the most significant increase in trading volume, rising by about 130%, followed by the financial sector at 76.24%, and then the services sector at 66.20%. This increased activity boosted market liquidity and increased revenues for brokers and financial services companies, positively impacting the overall performance of the financial market.

The average daily trading volume reached approximately 7.58 million dinars in 2025, compared to 4.14 million dinars in 2024. Regarding the performance of the indices, the Authority explained that the Amman Stock Exchange General Index (ASEGI) has risen by nearly 92% since its lowest point in recent years, reaching 2,914.79 points by the end of July 2025, compared to 1,551.37 points at the end of November 2020. This is its highest level since 2009. The Authority noted that the industrial sector was the main driver of this growth, while the financial sector continued its steady upward trajectory, and the services sector maintained a stable performance.

The improved performance of listed companies and their positive financial results also contributed to attracting investor interest, driven by growing regional demand for Jordanian industrial exports and the market's rapid response to investment opportunities and cash dividends.

The Authority expects the market's positive momentum to continue in the near term, benefiting from economic stability, plans to develop market infrastructure, and the diversification of financial instruments and services. It affirmed that the Jordanian capital market will remain a pivotal platform for corporate financing, promoting economic growth, attracting investments, creating job opportunities, and supporting government revenues.
