BMI determines an overall upward trend in the annual rate of growth in Jordan's defence expenditure. Analysts believe that spending may be boosted by a substantial increase in U.S. military aid to Jordan currently under discussion in the Congress. The report notes that in the short to medium term manpower as a percentage of the overall population is decreasing, but that in the long term it is likely to experience an upward trend.

Jordan's security threats continue to stem primarily from the regional level. Researchers think that the Palestinian-Israel conflict remains Amman's primary concern and point to deteriorating relations with Israel. On the other hand, relations with Baghdad are improving, in part out of shared interests, particularly the threat of retaliation by the Islamic State within the Hashemite Kingdom because of its participation in the international anti-Islamic State coalition.

Overall, Jordan's security risk index remains relatively good. For the coming year, the analysts have awarded it a score of 74, which is a reduction of just 1 point on 2014, and 4 points on 2013. This reduction must be reviewed in light of the current crises plaguing its neighbouring states, Iraq and Syria. From 2007 through to 2015, its average index score is 73, considered to be a higher medium level of security.
