On a monthly basis, the index recorded a 0.53 per cent decline in January compared with December 2024, when it stood at 88.47 points, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.  

The decrease was attributed to a 1.25 per cent drop in manufacturing production, despite an 11.08 per cent increase in extractive industries and a 0.5 per cent rise in electricity production.
