Country story
Jordan
Jordan’s banking system includes full-fledged Islamic institutions supervised by the Central Bank of Jordan.
Islamic banks operate within the national framework with dedicated prudential and liquidity arrangements.
Islamic banks operate within the national framework with dedicated prudential and liquidity arrangements.
Jordan shows how an Islamic segment can be institutionally recognised inside a comparatively small, externally constrained economy.
Dedicated liquidity tools can support institutional functioning without determining the developmental destination of finance.
The public evidence does not measure firm-level job creation or isolate the effect of central-bank facilities.

Descriptive comparison
Financing directed towards FIRE-related activities
Country-year medians by bank type. Each point reports its covered-bank count.
FIRE ordinarily refers to finance, insurance and real estate. Here the measure is broader: it captures bank financing reported for financial institutions, insurance, real estate and consumer-durable activities. It is used as a proxy for firm-level financialisation. The measure does not imply that every underlying financing claim is speculative, harmful or unproductive. It is a sectoral-allocation proxy and a level measure that is sensitive to bank size.
