Kuwait and Jordan maintain low inflation rates in June despite regional pressures

Recent economic data indicates that Kuwait and Jordan have successfully contained domestic inflation despite severe regional supply chain disruptions and surging energy costs. Kuwait reported that its annual inflation eased to 2.2 percent in June, with a stable consumer price index offsetting a 5.6 percent rise in food costs.

Similarly, inflation in Jordan stabilized at 2.8 percent for the month, supported by decreasing agricultural and food prices. Macroeconomic policy frameworks in both nations continue to shield their domestic markets from the worst impacts of regional military and transport escalations.
