Definitions and sources
Trade adds both directions. Shares refer to the country’s total goods exports; investment is an accumulated stock, not an annual flow. Every figure retains the currency and period of its source. BEA positions are historical-cost estimates based on the immediate counterpart, not market values or investment by ultimate owner. ‘More than’ indicates a lower bound, not an exact amount. A recorded stock does not establish new activity or authorisation to operate under sanctions.

Definitions, dates and sources
Blank cells are not zero. Average annual inflation and the latest year-on-year figure appear in separate rows: they are not the same measure. Every annual indicator retains its reference year; when the years differ, the figures are identified as not directly comparable. When a figure is unavailable from the World Bank, an annual IMF estimate is used and identified as such. The latest year-on-year figure is the latest official release verified as of 7 October 2026. This includes advance releases marked as provisional. Mexico may have a fortnightly figure before the full month is published; it is not automatically compared with a monthly figure. The publication date is retained in each source’s details; it does not replace the observation period or the annual average. Policy rates carry their own dates and represent different instruments. Spain and France share the ECB rate. Balances are positive for surpluses and negative for deficits. The IMF may use fiscal years; unemployment retains each source’s definition (ILO estimates, IMF WEO or PCBS), as stated in the details. For Palestine, debt and the fiscal balance cover central government and retain the PCBS definition; they are not presented as consolidated general government. These are economic magnitudes, not measures of relationship quality.
Area retains each source’s territorial coverage; it does not determine sovereignty or effective control. Canada uses an archived national geographic reference. Military expenditure retains the 2024 SIPRI sample distributed by the World Bank: the amount and percentage of GDP use that same definition, which differs from NATO’s. It is not an approved budget or a 2026 figure. Information from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). Military expenditure database · Terms of use0

What each figure measures
Residents are counted by nationality and the coverage of the stated register, not as people born in the other country or as new arrivals in one year. PERE includes dual nationals and people born outside Spain. Study with OPT and stays carrying academic credit are different measures. Travel may include several visits by the same person; FRONTUR arrivals require an overnight stay, whereas the Canadian survey includes day visits. These figures are neither added together nor automatically compared across directions.

History, institutions and long-standing issues.
History and institutional framework
Bakhtiyor Saidov received Ayman Safadi in Tashkent on 6 July 2026. They reviewed implementation of agreements reached in Samarkand the previous year and the schedule of upcoming visits. [1]
The scale of both economies
Nominal GDP for Uzbekistan is 147 billion USD (2025), compared with 61.6 for Jordan (2025). The reference populations are 37.05 and 11.52 million, respectively. In the same year, the economy of Uzbekistan was 2.39 times that of Jordan in nominal GDP. The comparison provides context on market size, but does not, on its own, measure influence, well-being or diplomatic closeness. Estimates and their sources retain their labels in the tables.

Recent developments
Recent developments and latest available data · Review: 2026-10-08
Cooperation and bilateral issues
They identified steps in trade, logistics, agriculture, education and cultural and humanitarian exchanges. The communication links the launch of Amman–Tashkent flights and the business council's work to expectations of greater economic cooperation, without providing operational route data. The ministers also discussed regional matters and reaffirmed readiness to coordinate in the United Nations, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and Non-Aligned Movement. [1]
What merchandise trade shows
In 2024, merchandise trade between the two countries (Uzbekistan and Jordan) totalled 4.6 million current USD. Shipments from the first to the second were 1.8 million; those in the opposite direction, 2.8 million. The difference between the two flows was 1 million, in favour of Jordan. This is a goods balance, not the total balance of the economic relationship: it excludes services, income and transfers. Both directions come from a single customs reporter to avoid adding mirror records. [2]
The partner's share of exports
Sales from Uzbekistan to the partner represented 0.00901% of its worldwide goods exports in 2024. The share compares the same reporter, year and coverage. It measures export concentration, not the percentage of GDP dependent on this relationship. A partner may be important in a specific sector even if its share of total goods trade is small. [2]
Documented trade sectors
Within the selected chapters, pharmaceutical products stands out in shipments from Jordan to Uzbekistan, at 0.834 million USD in 2024. The table compares eight selected chapters with the same coverage as the trade total. It is not a complete list or proof that the first item in this selection is the leading product across the entire relationship. A chapter groups numerous goods: machinery and components, for example, do not describe a single business transaction. [3]
