About Jordan's National Debt
Jordan carries high debt as a resource-poor economy that hosts large refugee populations; it relies on sustained IMF programmes and foreign aid to keep its finances stable.
Jordan's debt-to-GDP ratio of 93% exceeds the IMF's 90% threshold associated with potential growth drag. Stabilising it would require sustained primary surpluses — spending less than tax revenue before interest. By total government debt, Jordan ranks 65th of the 138 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $52 per second, Jordan adds about $0.0 billion to its national debt every day — roughly $2 billion per year. Each of Jordan's 10 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $4,661. That is below the world average of roughly $12,600 in government debt per person.
Figures are computed by Global Debt Clock using linear extrapolation from IMF general government gross debt baselines (Fiscal Monitor / WEO April 2026) and national treasury data. Actual debt changes through discrete bond issuances — these counters illustrate the approximate scale and pace of sovereign borrowing.
