The Main Policy Rate is the Central Bank of Jordan's own designated key rate — the rate it publishes at the head of its 'Interest Rates on Monetary Policy Instruments' table and the rate its press releases call the 'Key Interest Rate of the Central Bank'. It is set by the CBJ's Open Market Operations Committee, which meets roughly eight times a year and normally makes decisions effective the following Sunday. The main rate sits inside a corridor: the Overnight Deposit Window Rate is the floor, the Overnight Repurchase (Repo) Rate and the Rediscount (Discount) Rate sit above it. Because the Jordanian dinar is pegged to the US dollar, the CBJ tracks the US Federal Reserve rather than running an independent stance.

What this value means
The CBJ's main rate (Main Policy Rate) is served — NOT the overnight deposit window rate, which is the corridor floor 25bp below it (5.75% after this move), and not the re-discount rate 100bp above it (7.00%). Raised 25bp from 5.75% to 6.00% effective 21 Sep 2026, following the US FOMC hike of 16 Sep 2026 (JOD is pegged to the USD). Read off the CBJ's own rates table on 08 Oct 2026; previous level and its full notes are in history.
