Jordan holds #89 on the headline ranking, against 9 others we score in Middle East. None of them reach a stronger band than Jordan; 2 sit in a weaker one. Their split: 7 in 50–65, 1 in 35–50, 1 in < 35. United Arab Emirates tops them at #25; Turkey closes them at #148. Closest either side of Jordan: Israel at #84 and Bahrain at #93. Mid-table is where the ranking moves most: a couple of points reshuffles several places. A falling score only costs places when a neighbour is close enough behind to pass. Same seven dimensions, same sources, same day.

Questions about the Jordan score

What does a score of 55.2 mean for Jordan?

55.2/100, band 50–65: some of the discipline holds and some of it slips, which is what the middle looks like. That is 5.2 points above the 50 mid-point of the scale. Seven weighted dimensions produce the figure and no analyst adjusts it afterwards. Nothing in it is a forecast — it grades what Jordan's central bank has already done, said and delivered.

How often is Jordan's score updated?

Nightly, off that day's public releases; this page carries the 2026-09-10 run. It has come down from 55.3 across seven days, a loss of 0.1. A 90-day trailing average damps single prints, so a weekly move past a couple of points is a real one. Tomorrow's run replaces the 2026-09-10 figure outright rather than revising it in place.

What is the 50–65 credibility band?

Five bands cut the scale — ≥ 80, 65–80, 50–65, 35–50, < 35 — and 50–65 is step 3. Jordan clears its 50 floor by 5.2 and stops 9.8 short of 65. The step above is 65–80 and the step below is 35–50. Bands grade monetary behaviour, not default risk, so none of this is a credit rating.
