The Jordanian government has introduced a new blockchain technology policy for 2025 that aims to increase transparency, improve public services, and foster economic growth.
The initiative, approved by the Jordanian Council of Ministers, aims to modernize administrative procedures and increase confidence in government operations.
The policy outlines plans to introduce blockchain technology to streamline government functions and reduce transaction times and operational costs. By enabling real-time verification and automation, authorities hope to improve service efficiency for both businesses and the public.
Security and data privacy are at the heart of this effort. The government emphasized its efforts to protect citizens’ information as Jordan pursues digital policies.
Another important aspect of this policy is its focus on developing blockchain expertise and fostering startup innovation. The initiative aims to build a skilled workforce, support startups in the blockchain space, and position Jordan as a leader in digital technology.
Jordan’s adoption of blockchain fits into its broader strategy to modernize its economy and attract international investment. Improvements in public services and infrastructure are expected to boost economic competitiveness and diversification.
The move aligns Jordan with regional trends as Middle Eastern countries increasingly consider 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 their blockchain frameworks and regulations.
Jordan’s work with blockchain technology began earlier, with interest in crypto trading increasing in 2022 in response to economic hardship. The new policy aims to build on this momentum, drive further innovation and strengthen governance practices.
