The paper discusses the impact of global financial crisis on the Jordanian economy in two periods; the first period extended from the beginning of the global crisis in autumn of 2008 to December 2008, and the second period started from December 2008 till the end of 2011. The results of this paper indicate that the impact of the global crisis is being driven by the country's high dependence on foods and oil prices which led to increase the prices of oil and commodity. We also found that the banking and tourism sectors were not affected by the crisis. The evidence is presented in a series of charts which are backed up by statistical analysis. Like some of the Arabic countries, Jordan, which is a small Arabic country located in the Middle East, is characterized by possessing a small industrial base. Strikingly, its economy is among the smallest in the region because of the scarcity of its natural resources. Furthermore, the country is known for high standards of unemployment among its educated and uneducated citizens, especially the youth. Despite these facts, there has been a steady growth in the economy.It is noted that the Jordanian economy has mainly grown increasingly over the past 20 years. Great deal of significant economic reforms have been carried out by King Abdullah II Since he has been in power in 1999, these included opening the trade regime, privatizing state-owned companies, and abolishment of most fuel subsidies. Hence, these critical reforms have been the primary motivator for foreign investment in the kingdom in the last few years. The economic growth has improved increasingly as a result of the foreign investment which naturally has led to creating more job opportunities. Undeniably, the rate of unemployment has decline considerably despite the sweeping global financial crisis which casted its light on the whole region. It is taken-by-granted that Jordan was affected by the financial crisis; there were imbalance in the level of imports and exports, I.e. Jordan had to pay more for basic commodities and energy products including oil. Despite the challenges, the country has moved on in implementing the significant reforms therefore the economic growth increased constantly. It is understood that any country must prioritize the annual economic growth by implementing strategic economic plans that would be ready to face any sudden or undesirable economic imbalances. Jordan's economy is mainly dependent on exports, tourism, and overseas Jordanian employees' remittances. Any imbalances in these economic resources will affect the rate of employment and unemployment in the kingdom. By nature of things, as the rate of unemployment increases more, the rate of poverty will rise in Jordan. Noticeably, now the rate of poverty in Jordan has reached 14.5% according to the official statistical estimates. However, the rate is higher based on nongovernmental institutions - estimated at 27%, (European Economy, 2009).On the other hand, Like some underdeveloped countries, Jordan has been suffering greatly from brain drain; there are approximately 600,000 Jordanians working abroad, nearly 50 % of them have workplaces in the Gulf region, and their remittances are up to 20% of the JordanianGDP, (European Commission, 2009).In other words, remittances are recognized as an important national income to the country. It is agreed that, among the huge number of Jordanians working overseas, there are a big number of academic, skilled and professional people. This undoubtedly, despite the advantageous benefits, negatively affects the country since Jordan needs to make up the shortage by depend on alterative foreign manpower from Egypt and Syria. Consequently, this leads
