Instructions for Margin Trading in Foreign Currencies and Major Precious Metals

The Central Bank of Jordan mandates that banks adhere to specific controls when providing margin trading services in foreign currencies and precious metals, prohibiting the use of credit facilities to finance such trades. Banks must collect a preliminary margin of at least 15% of position value, with mandatory margin calls if levels drop below 10% and immediate liquidation if they fall below 5%. These instructions, issued under Board Decree No. 123/2018, apply to banks operating in the Kingdom and repeal the previous 2006 instructions effective July 18, 2018.
