Jordan CPI, January–June 2026
A source-linked descriptive note using monthly consumer-price releases from Jordan's Department of Statistics. It reports the official headline annual and month-on-month rates without converting the six observations into a regional stress score or causal claim.
The official year-on-year headline rate rose from 1.06% in January to 2.83% in May 2026, before easing to 2.79% in June. The month-on-month rate fell from 0.76% in March and 0.70% in April to 0.14% in June.
Bars show the source-defined annual headline CPI rate for each month. No common regional normalization is applied.
Interpretation
The first-half pattern supports a narrow descriptive statement: Jordan's published annual headline CPI rate increased materially between January and May, then was almost unchanged in June, while the monthly rate had cooled substantially from its March–April pace. This note does not identify the component contributions to that movement and does not infer household welfare effects from headline CPI alone.
Evidence perimeter
The six observations are the official monthly headline annual and month-on-month rates stored in the Lab's Observatory release candidate. They are not the cumulative year-to-date averages. The wider Observatory remains a release candidate and has not yet passed its independent source-audit gate.
