CBJ keeps key interest rate unchanged at 5.75%

30-04-2026 12:53 PM


Ammon News - The Open Market Operations Committee at the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) held its third meeting of 2026 and decided to keep the bank’s key interest rate unchanged at 5.75%, while maintaining the interest rates on all monetary policy instruments at their current levels.

The decision comes in line with the Central Bank’s primary objective of preserving monetary and financial stability in the Kingdom, and aligning the domestic interest rate structure with prevailing rates in regional and international financial markets.

In this regard, the Committee affirmed that the bank will continue its approach of closely monitoring all global and regional economic developments and remains prepared to take the necessary proactive measures to help strengthen the resilience of the national economy.

In this context, the precautionary measures package launched by the Bank at the beginning of April, valued at 760 million dinars, aligns with this approach and is supported by strong monetary and economic indicators—most notably the Central Bank’s foreign currency reserves, which reached $26.8 billion by the end of March 2026, marking an increase of $1.3 billion compared with their level at the end of 2025.
