The Jordanian government has introduced a new Blockchain technology policy for 2025, which aims to increase transparency, improve public services and stimulate economic growth.
The initiative, approved by the Jordanian Council of Ministers, aims to modernize administrative procedures and strengthen confidence in government operations.
The policy outlines plans to implement blockchain technology to streamline government functions, thereby reducing transaction times and operational costs. By enabling real-time verification and automation, officials hope to improve the efficiency of services for businesses and citizens.
Data security and privacy are at the heart of the initiative. The government has emphasized its commitment to protecting citizens’ information as Jordan advances its digital agenda.
Another key aspect of the policy is the emphasis on developing blockchain expertise and promoting start-up innovation. The initiative aims to build a skilled workforce and support emerging companies in the blockchain sector, thereby positioning Jordan as a leader in digital technologies.
Jordan’s adoption of blockchain is part of a broader strategy to modernize the economy and attract international investment. Improving public services and infrastructure should boost economic competitiveness and diversification.
The move aligns Jordan with regional trends as Middle Eastern countries increasingly explore blockchain to address economic and administrative challenges.
Syria has recently expressed interest in legalizing Bitcoin and digitizing its currency, while Dubai and Abu Dhabi continue to expand blockchain frameworks and regulations.
Jordan’s involvement in blockchain technology began earlier, with interest growing in cryptocurrency trading in 2022 in response to economic difficulties. The new policy aims to capitalize on this dynamic, by further stimulating innovation and strengthening governance practices.
