Ammon News - Data from the Department of Statistics on foreign trade showed a 3.2 percent decline in the Kingdom’s imports of crude oil and its derivatives during the first eight months of 2025.

According to statistical data picked up by the Jordan News Agency (Petra), the value of the Kingdom’s imports of crude oil and derivatives reached JD1.755 billion by the end of August this year, compared with JD1.813 billion during the same period last year, marking a decrease of JD58 million.

The decline in the oil bill up to the end of August this year directly contributed to curbing the overall rise in the Kingdom’s imports, as oil continues to rank first among Jordan’s imported commodities.

Fuel and mineral oils topped the list of imported petroleum derivatives, amounting to JD603 million, followed by crude oil at JD497 million. Imports of motor spirits (gasoline) totaled about JD270 million, diesel JD353 million, lubricants JD28 million, and kerosene around JD4 million.
