(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN - Jordan’s industrial production rose slightly in January, increasing by 0.62 per cent compared with the same month of 2025, according to a report issued on Wednesday by the Department of Statistics (DoS).

The Industrial Production Index (IPI) reached 88.55 points in January, compared with 88.0 points in January 2025.

On a monthly basis, however, production edged down by 0.25 per cent compared with December 2025, when the index stood at 88.78 points, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The year-on-year increase was driven by a 6.99 per cent rise in output from the extractive industries sector, which accounts for 5.4 per cent of the index weight, and an 8.62 per cent increase in electricity production, representing 5.9 per cent.

Meanwhile, manufacturing output declined by 0.26 per cent, although the sector remains the dominant contributor to the index with a weight of 88.7 per cent.

Compared with December 2025, the overall decline in January was mainly due to a 1.11 per cent drop in manufacturing output, despite increases in extractive industries production by 6.45 per cent and electricity output by 7.09 per cent, the report said.
