Jordan Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Company register search for 3,317 Jordan companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Jordan company register data is held by the Companies Control Department (CCD) under Companies Law No. 22 of 1997, as amended, with free public search available in Arabic through ccd.gov.jo. Beneficial ownership is defined under Regulation No. 62 of 2022, added as Article 273 bis of the same Companies Law, establishing a Beneficial Ownership Registry at the CCD. Neither its exact ownership threshold nor its public-versus-restricted access basis is published in verifiable form, beyond the CCD's own guideline confirming the registry's existence. Entity identity remains searchable at source through the CCD; beneficial ownership has to be confirmed directly with the department.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Jordan
Jordan’s economy is a small, services-heavy, resource-poor economy that continued a modest, stable expansion through 2024-2025. Nominal GDP was approximately $53.35 billion in 2024, with GDP per capita of roughly $4,017. Real GDP growth was 2.6% in 2024, accelerating slightly to an estimated 2.8% in 2025, supported by agriculture, manufacturing and services. Inflation has been low and well-contained: consumer prices rose just 1.56% in 2024 and averaged around 1.77% across 2025, reflecting the Central Bank of Jordan’s tight monetary stance. The Jordanian dinar (JOD) has been pegged to the US dollar since 1995 at a fixed rate of approximately 0.709 JOD per USD, a peg widely credited with anchoring price stability despite regional turmoil. Structurally, Jordan has very limited natural resources aside from phosphates and potash, and depends heavily on imported energy and food. Services dominate GDP, while industry contributed about 23% of GDP in 2024. Public debt remains a serious structural concern: it stood at 116.8% of GDP at the end of 2024, before easing toward roughly 82-83% of GDP on some 2025 measures, though a 2026 regional war has since pushed reported debt back up toward or above 114% of GDP per contemporaneous reporting — sources disagree on exact methodology and timing. Counterparties verify a specific counterparty’s actual current debt-exposure and fiscal-risk status directly.
Jordan’s domestic merchandise exports totaled roughly JD8.58 billion (~$12.1 billion) in 2024, with industrial goods accounting for about 92% of the total. Garments/apparel led with JD1.665 billion (+25.6% year-on-year), followed by chemical fertilisers and pharmaceuticals at JD611 million (+14.8% y/y). Potash exports fell sharply, from about $1.4 billion (2023) to roughly $1.06 billion (2024, -28%), while phosphate export value dropped about 9.3%, both reflecting weaker global fertiliser prices. Garments are exported heavily to the US under the Qualifying Industrial Zones (QIZ) program and the 2001 Jordan-US Free Trade Agreement, the first FTA the US signed with an Arab country. Net FDI inflows were $1.637 billion in 2024 (3.1% of GDP), dominated by Arab investors (64.8%); by sector, financial/insurance activities drew the largest share (23.4%), followed by real estate purchases by foreign nationals (19.1%). FDI then rose 25.1% in 2025 to about $2.205 billion, the highest level since 2017. Remittances from Jordanian expatriates are a major income source, equal to roughly 7.6-8.3% of GDP in 2024. The government’s Economic Modernisation Vision (EMV), launched in 2022, aims to double GDP, create one million jobs and attract JD41 billion in investment by 2033. Counterparties verify a specific counterparty’s current tariff-preference eligibility and FDI-linked exposure directly.
Jordan’s population was estimated at roughly 11.5-11.85 million in 2025. Jordan hosts one of the highest per-capita refugee populations in the world: approximately 587,000 refugees and asylum-seekers were registered with UNHCR as of 2025 (the large majority Syrian), 81% of whom live in host communities rather than camps. Separately, Jordan hosts more than 2.39 million UNRWA-registered Palestinian refugees, the largest Palestinian refugee population in the region. Following the fall of the Assad government in Syria in December 2024, hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees have begun returning home, gradually reducing Jordan’s registered refugee population. Unemployment remains a serious structural issue: the Department of Statistics reported 21.3% for Q1 2025, then 16.2% for Q3 2025 and 16.1% for Q4 2025 — a sizeable within-year drop reported here as published, though a methodology or reference-period change may be a factor that could not be independently confirmed. Youth unemployment is markedly higher still, around 38.9%-45% depending on source. On regional spillovers: the Gaza war and subsequent regional escalation caused a severe shock to Jordanian tourism (Petra visitor numbers fell about 61% from 2023 to 2024) and disrupted Aqaba port container throughput via Houthi Red Sea attacks. Most significantly, in 2026 Jordan became directly caught up in an escalated Iran-Israel-US conflict, with Iranian missile and drone attacks affecting or transiting Jordanian airspace from around February 2026 through at least August 2026, Jordanian military casualties, roughly $140 million in added electricity costs after a halt in Israeli gas supplies, and large protests described as possibly the largest since 2011. Domestically, Jordan held parliamentary elections on September 10, 2024, in which the Islamic Action Front won its best result in 35 years (31 of 138 seats); on April 23, 2025 the Interior Ministry banned the Muslim Brotherhood’s organizational activities in Jordan. Counterparties verify a specific counterparty’s actual current security exposure and regional-conflict-linked operational risk directly rather than assume conditions have stabilized.
Jordan company base, broken down
Charts render from live counts. Where coverage is partial, the excluded population is stated on the chart.
Company size, by disclosed headcount
By number of employees on file. Entities with no disclosed headcount are not counted in any band.
Enterprises by size category
From Jordan’s Department of Statistics 2018 Establishments/Economic Census (the most recent full economic census located), which recorded 167,519 active enterprises: micro enterprises (1-4 employees) 89.7%, small (5-19 employees) 8.0%, medium (20-99 employees) 1.7%, and large enterprises 0.5%. This is explicitly a 2018-vintage figure since no more recent full economic census was found; separately, MSMEs are widely cited as comprising about 98.5% of registered business enterprises, employing about 31% of the labour force and generating over 60% of economic output. A foreign-ownership share figure is deliberately omitted: no genuine, dated, economy-wide statistic on the share of Jordanian registered companies that are foreign-owned could be located. Source: .
Who uses Jordan ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Jordan counterparty means confirming the beneficial owner behind the entity and evidencing where that answer came from, not just pulling the registered name.
AML and sanctions screening
Sanctions exposure often sits above the operating company, in a holding layer registered elsewhere. Screening the local entity alone will not surface it; screening the resolved ownership chain will.
Supplier and credit risk
Only 2 Jordan entities have digitized accounts on file, so group membership is often a better solvency signal than a standalone balance sheet.
