The Jordanian government has introduced a new Blockchain Technology Policy for 2025, which aims to increase transparency, improve public services and boost economic growth.
The initiativeapproved by the Jordanian Council of Ministers, aims to modernize administrative procedures and increase confidence in government action.
The policy outlines plans to implement blockchain technology to streamline government functions, reducing transaction times and operational costs. By enabling real-time verification and automation, officials expect to improve service efficiency for both businesses and citizens.
Security and data privacy are at the heart of the initiative. The government emphasized its commitment to protecting citizen information as Jordan further develops its digital agenda.
Another important aspect of the policy is the focus on developing blockchain expertise and encouraging start-up innovation. The initiative aims to build a skilled workforce and provide support to emerging companies in the blockchain sector, positioning Jordan as a leader in digital technologies.
Jordan’s adoption of blockchain fits within a broader strategy to modernize the economy and attract international investment. Improved public services and infrastructure are expected to boost economic competitiveness and diversification.
This move brings Jordan in line with regional trends as Middle Eastern countries increasingly explore blockchain to address economic and administrative challenges.
Syria has recently shown interest in legalizing Bitcoin and digitalizing its currency, while Dubai and Abu Dhabi continue to expand blockchain frameworks and regulations.
Jordan’s involvement in blockchain technology started earlier, with interest in crypto trading increasing in 2022 in response to economic difficulties. The new policy aims to build on this momentum, stimulate further innovation and strengthen governance practices.
