Shafaq News- Baghdad<\/p>\n

Trade between Iraq and Jordan fell by 30% in the first
\nquarter of 2026, dropping<\/a> to $479 million from $684 million in the same period
\nlast year, an economic expert said.<\/p>\n

Manar Al-Obaidi, the head of the Future Iraq Foundation for
\nEconomic Studies and Consultations, said on Tuesday that Jordanian exports to
\nIraq declined by 12% year-on-year, while the value of re-exports from Jordan to
\nIraq dropped by 38%.<\/p>\n

Iraqi exports to Jordan recorded the sharpest decline,
\nplunging by 73% from $73 million in the first quarter of 2025 to just $20
\nmillion in the corresponding period of 2026.<\/p>\n

Jordan’s main exports to Iraq include fertilizers, medical
\nsupplies, pharmaceuticals, and food products, while Iraqi exports to Jordan are
\nlargely concentrated in crude oil and petroleum derivatives, according to
\nAl-Obaidi.<\/p>\n

Iraq imported<\/a> $265 million worth of Jordanian goods during
\nthe first four months of 2026, retaining its position as the leading
\ndestination for Jordanian exports, according to the Amman Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026-06-03T18:50:27+00:00 font Enable Reading Mode A- A A+ Shafaq News- Baghdad Trade between Iraq and Jordan fell by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":144137,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[14],"tags":[152,14338,14340,94,654,445,47052],"class_list":["post-144136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iraq","tag-breaking","tag-export","tag-import","tag-iraq","tag-jordan","tag-trade","tag-trade-between-iraq-and-jordan-tumbles-30-in-q1-2026"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116687776274184610","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=144136"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144136\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/144137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=144136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=144136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=144136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
