In late August 2026, the Jordanian government opted to freeze fuel prices for September to mitigate the impact of rising global crude oil and petroleum derivative costs on citizens and the national budget. Despite geopolitical tensions affecting energy supplies, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources maintained prices for gasoline, diesel, and kerosene at August levels, while continuing LPG subsidies for the industrial sector.

By mid-September, economic data confirmed an upward trend in Jordanian inflation. The consumer price index rose by 2.66% in August 2026 compared to the previous year. This inflationary pressure was driven primarily by significant price increases in oils and fats (17.26%), personal effects (16.53%), and transportation (15.98%). While most categories saw increases, prices for fruits, nuts, vegetables, and meat and poultry experienced declines.
