How this page is built. Every figure here is the sum of the three published monthly bulletins in the quarter. DLS does not publish totals for this window, so these are MENA Bridge calculations from published monthly data; they reconcile exactly to the monthly series on the tracker.
February and March 2026 are estimated within this period. DLS published no bulletin for either month. The combined total for the pair is known precisely, reconstructed identically from three separate published cumulatives, and is apportioned between the two months using the average February-to-March ratio of 2024 and 2025. The period total is therefore not affected by the estimate — only the split between those two individual months is.
One figure on this page differs from DLS’s published total. Foreign investment value here is built from the monthly series and the reconstructed February–March pair. DLS publishes 100,034,214 JOD for the first half of 2026, but its own five-month cumulative plus the June monthly figure gives 24,721,071 for June against the 24,311,296 it prints — a residual of 409,775 JOD inside the source itself. The figure shown is the one that reconciles to the monthly series; the difference is disclosed rather than absorbed.

No nationality breakdown is available for this period. DLS publishes nationality rankings only as a running year-to-date total, and no published cumulative covers this window. Rather than borrow a different period's ranking or sum the monthly top-lists — which would understate any nationality falling outside the published list in a given month — the section is omitted.

5 · Where Sales Concentrated

Not available for this period. February and March 2026 were never published by DLS, so no bulletin covers this quarter. Because DLS reports only a shortlist of leading basins, and the shortlist differs every month, the lists cannot be added together to build a period that DLS never published.
