Jordan has been ranked 38th out of 136 countries globally, as "most ready to adapt to change”, according to a recent report.

The KPMG's Global Change Readiness Index (CRI) noted Jordan’s demographics, technological infrastructure and labour markets as strengths in the Kingdom. Meanwhile, issues including gender, enterprise sustainability and government strategic planning were identified as aspects that required development.

The report measures the ability of 136 countries — including their government, private and public enterprises, people and wider civil society – to anticipate, prepare for, manage, and respond to change.
In the MENA region, Jordan was ranked after three other Arab countries: the UAE, which topped the list, Saudi Arabia, which ranked 20th, and Qatar at 24.

The highest ranking countries in the index are Switzerland, Sweden, UAE, Singapore, Denmark, New Zealand, Netherland, Finland, Germany and the UK.
