Record JOD 2.4 Billion Growth in Assets SSIF Assets Reach JOD 18.6 Billion by End of 2025
The assets of the Social Security Investment Fund (SSIF) recorded growth of JOD 2.4 billion, reaching JOD 18.6 billion by the end of 2025, compared to JOD 16.2 billion at the end of 2024, representing a growth rate of 15%. According to the Fund’s preliminary financial results for 2025, this growth was driven by an increase in comprehensive income, which reached approximately JOD 2.2 billion by the end of 2025, compared to JOD 1 billion at the end of 2024, reflecting growth of around 116%, in addition to an insurance surplus of approximately JOD 200 million transferred from the Social Security Corporation. The increase in comprehensive income resulted from net investment returns of approximately JOD 1.1 billion generated by the Fund’s investment portfolios, alongside a net increase of approximately JOD 1.1 billion in the valuation of the strategic equity portfolio. The Chairman of the Investment Board, Omar Malhas, said that the results achieved in 2025 reflect the Fund’s ability to deploy capital efficiently across investment cycles, capture opportunities at appropriate inflection points, and preserve a disciplined balance between risk-adjusted returns and long-term sustainability. He added that the Fund’s performance represents a forward-looking signal of improving economic momentum and investor confidence, noting that—given the scale of the Fund’s balance sheet and the nature of its investments—its performance both reflects and contributes to broader macroeconomic conditions. Malhas said that the Fund is increasingly calibrating its capital allocation toward large-scale strategic investments, including the investment in Amra City and the National Water Carrier Project, while continuing to assess major opportunities in partnership with the private sector, in line with Jordan’s Economic Modernization Vision. He further explained that the Fund is currently updating its strategic plan, reviewing its investment orientation, and reassessing its asset allocation framework, with the objective of sharpening capital deployment decisions, aligning portfolios with the long-term obligations of the Social Security system, and reinforcing SSIF’s role as a cornerstone institutional investor in the national economy. SSIF CEO Dr. Izzedine Kanakrieh said that the financial results underscore the prudence of diversifying investment instruments, with assets allocated across bond portfolios, money market instruments, equities, real estate investments, loans, and tourism-related investments. He explained that this diversification is managed within a disciplined framework designed to deliver consistent returns across varying investment horizons, noting that the results achieved underscore the strength of the Fund’s investment decisions. Kanakrieh added that the coming period will focus on the continued refinement of execution mechanisms linked to managing and diversifying investment instruments, alongside the expansion of existing investments and the assessment of new economically viable opportunities, enhancing the Fund’s readiness to meet future investment requirements while maintaining sustainable returns. The Social Security Investment Fund confirmed that the publication of these preliminary financial figures comes within the framework of its institutional disclosure approach, noting that more detailed financial data on its investment portfolios will be published as part of a periodic report scheduled for release during the second half of the current month.
