During the past decade, the Jordanian economy has embarked on a period of renewed
growth, which has resulted in strong (real and nominal) GDP growth, rising per capita GDP
and rising export performance. Since 2000, the year of Jordan’s accession to the WTO and
negotiation of key trade agreements with the US and the Arab region, real GDP has grown
at an average annual rate of 6.6 percent, and per capita GDP has grown at 3.5 percent per
annum.
