What the numbers say
In 2025, Jordan's net secondary income (net current transfers from abroad) (current LCU) fell 8.3% on 2024 (from 3.91 billion to 3.59 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +6.3% and a typical year strayed about 18.2% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 91.5% in 1979 and the biggest yearly fall was 22.7% in 2015. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 29% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures
Net secondary income (from abroad) comprises transfers of income between residents of the reporting country and the rest of the world that carry no provisions for repayment. Net secondary income is equal to the unrequited transfers of income from nonresidents to residents minus the unrequited transfers from residents to nonresidents. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
