Amman, Jan. 1 (Petra) – The assets of the Social Security Investment Fund recorded a historic increase of JD 2.4 billion, reaching JD 18.6 billion by the end of 2025, compared with JD 16.2 billion at the end of 2024, marking a growth rate of 15 percent.

According to the Fund’s preliminary financial results for 2025, this growth was driven by a sharp rise in comprehensive income, which reached around JD 2.2 billion by the end of 2025, compared with JD 1 billion at the end of 2024, an increase of approximately 116 percent. The results were further supported by an insurance surplus of about JD 200 million transferred from the Social Security Corporation.

The rise in comprehensive income was attributed to net returns from investment portfolios amounting to approximately JD 1.1 billion, reflecting a growth rate of 21.7 percent, in addition to a net increase of around JD 1.1 billion in the valuation of the strategic equity portfolio.

Chairman of the Board of the Social Security Investment Council, Omar Malhas, said the results achieved in 2025 reflect the Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolios efficiently, capitalize on available opportunities at the right time, and maintain a well-balanced approach between returns and risk.

He noted that the Fund’s performance is an important indicator of the improving national economic performance and growing confidence in the investment environment.

Malhas added that in the coming phase, the Fund is moving toward implementing and participating in major investment projects, including the Umrah project and the National Water Carrier, in addition to studying a number of large-scale projects with the private sector, as well as projects under the Economic Modernization Vision in sectors such as energy, transport, and mining.

He also explained that the Fund is currently working on updating its strategic plan, reviewing its investment orientations, and reassessing asset allocation to reflect a deeper reading of market developments. This approach aims to strengthen the focus on investments with direct economic impact, in line with the long-term obligations of the Social Security Corporation, while supporting sustainable returns and the Fund’s role in the national economy.

For his part, Chairperson of the Investment Fund, Ezzedine Kanakrieh, said the financial results reflect the prudence of diversifying investment instruments through asset allocation across bond portfolios, money market instruments, equities, real estate investments, loans, and tourism investments.

He noted that the Fund manages this diversification within a disciplined framework that balances achieving solid returns with acceptable risk levels and varying investment maturities, stressing that the exceptional results achieved confirm the soundness of the investment decisions taken.

Kanakrieh added that the next phase will see continued development of implementation mechanisms related to managing and diversifying investment tools, alongside executing and expanding existing investments and studying new economically viable opportunities.

This, he said, will enhance the Fund’s readiness to meet future investment requirements and achieve sustainable returns.

The Social Security Investment Fund affirmed that publishing the preliminary financial data at this time comes as part of its commitment to institutional transparency, noting that detailed data on its investment portfolios will be published in its periodic report, scheduled for release during the second half of this month.
