Jordan's economy is service-oriented, with tourism to sites like Petra and the Dead Sea, finance, and IT as growth drivers. Phosphate and potash mining, plus garments, are key exports. Agriculture is limited by water scarcity, focusing on fruits and vegetables. Refugee influxes strain resources, but aid supports stability. Free trade zones attract investment, particularly in pharmaceuticals. High youth unemployment and public debt pose challenges, addressed through reforms. Jordan's strategic location facilitates trade with neighbors. Despite geopolitical tensions, education and skilled workforce bolster potential in renewable energy and digital sectors for sustainable economic progress.
