How this page is built. Every figure here is the sum of the six published monthly bulletins in the half-year. 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.

Window of the nationality charts. These cover January–June 2026. DLS publishes nationality rankings only for the window shown and lists just the leading nationalities, so percentages cover the ranked entries alone and do not sum to 100.

How to read this. DLS publishes a shortlist of the leading basins, not a complete geographic breakdown. These are the concentrations it chose to report for this period; they do not sum to total sales. The governorate and directorate for each basin are resolved from the DLS village and basin coding table.
