In the same report, the economic activity confidence index rose from 114.7 to 200 points. Real GDP growth was reported at 3% year over year in the second quarter of 2026, compared with 2.8% in the same quarter of 2025.

The forum also reported second-quarter FDI inflows of about JD458 million and a post-grant budget deficit of about JD557 million. These are separate quarterly indicators; the confidence index itself does not measure realized investment.
