Jordan’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at constant market prices grew by 2.2 percent in 2021, compared to the figure reported in 2020, official sources have said.
The numbers come from a quarterly statistical report released on Sunday by the Department of Statistics (DoS).
The DoS said in the report that the GDP inched up by 2.6 percent in the fourth quarter of last year compared to the same period in 2020.
The report apparently indicated that the construction sector expanded by 6.1 percent in the reporting period.
This was followed by the extractive industries, which grew 5.6 percent year on year.
The third was the transportation, storage, and communications sector, which expanded 3.9 percent as compared to the year-ago period.
Then there was the wholesale, retail trade, and the hospitality sector, which rose by 3.5 percent in 2021 as compared to 2020.
