According to a statement by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship on Wednesday, Jordan secured the 5th place in the index among the group of lower-middle-income economies, out of 37 nations listed in this category.

Here, the Kingdom jumped from 69th ranking globally to 66th in the "Innovation Inputs" sub-index, while it advanced from 74th globally to 66th in the "Innovation Outputs" sub-index.
At the level of detailed indicators in 2025, Jordan jumped to second place globally in the index of "Published Scientific and Technical Articles" and recorded "significant" progress in the index of patent families (22 places).
The knowledge worker index also rose from 85th to 58th, reflecting a "key" increase in the contribution of specialized human competencies to the economy.
In the same context, Jordan achieved "remarkable" progress in the E-government Services Index, rising 10 places to reach 63rd globally, reflecting the efforts made in digital transformation and the development of e-government services.
Additionally, Jordan's ranking improved in the Creative Exports Index, jumping 6 places, as well as progress in the Knowledge and Technology Outputs Index, advancing 16 places and the Creative Outputs Index, progressing 5 places.
