So – What happened to the Danish-Jordanian Trade?

Some time ago I promised to publish the Danish-Jordanian trade figures for 2008 on this site.

Trade from Denmark to Jordan grew with 19% in 2008 and export to Denmark from Jordan 10,1%.

The numbers are still not impressive but the export figures are the highest to Jordan since 2003: 58 mio. USD export to Jordan (49 mio. USD in 2007) and 2 mio. USD export to Denmark in 2008. These figures do not take into account the trade that is reexported to other Arab countries – presumably mostly Iraq.

Adding services (only figures available from 2007) Jordan has a small trade surplus of 8 mio USD based on 31 mio. USD of Jordanian services to Denmark and 23 mio. USD of Danish services to Jordan.  

So 2008 turned out to be a good year for trade between Jordan and Denmark.

    Excellent news. It’s good to see more exchange of goods between the two. Thanks for the report.

    Thank you Mrs. Bean.
    Ammannet found the article and posted it in arabic on their site. From reading the comments I can see that there is a certain lack of trust in the figures that I provided ;-) But yes – the boycott did not harm trade to the extend claimed by some of the organizers – and I don’t force anyone to believe this – just go look by yourself and post your figures and sources here.
