What the numbers say
In 2025, Jordan's stocks traded, total value (% of GDP) rose 2.32 percentage points on 2024 (from 2.58% to 4.9%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was −0.29 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 31.81 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above 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 142.29 percentage points in 2005 and the biggest yearly fall was 59.29 percentage points in 2006. 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 21% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures
The value of shares traded is the total number of shares traded, both domestic and foreign, multiplied by their respective matching prices. Figures are single counted (only one side of the transaction is considered). Companies admitted to listing and admitted to trading are included in the data. Data are end of year values.
Limitations: Data cover measures of size (market capitalization, number of listed domestic companies) and liquidity (value of shares traded as a percentage of gross domestic product, value of shares traded as a percentage of market capitalization). The comparability of such data across countries may be limited by conceptual and statistical weaknesses, such as inaccurate reporting and differences in accounting standards. Only EOB trades are included in the total value of shares traded.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
