Abstract

The research focuses on calculating the expected credit risks according to the IFRS9 9 standard and how to apply this standard in the National Bank of Iraq. IFRS9 9 is an accounting standard that deals with the classification, financial value of financial assets and the management of risks related to them. Modern accounting standards require considering the financial risks of loans and other financial products owned by the bank. The IFRS9 9 standard aims to supply a comprehensive credit risk management system and supply a probable estimate of expected losses on loans and other financial products. The process of calculating the expected credit risk by the IFRS9 9 standard includes several main steps. First, financial products should be classified according to the degree of expected risk. This classification is based on the quantitative and qualitative information relevant to the bank and the credit risk assessment for each category. After that, the expected credit size for each category is decided based on forecasting models and risk estimates. These models are based on a set of accounting, economic and business standards. Historical data and current information are used to decide the expected credit volume and the possible risks entailed by financial portfolios. According to accounting standards, banks must include the expected credit volume in periodic financial reports and constantly update it. This helps third parties, such as investors and regulators, to understand the bank's exposure to credit risks and the efficiency of the bank's risk management. This process is reflected in the volume of credit applied at the National Bank of Iraq by improving the bank's understanding of credit risks and thus the ability to make better decisions in granting loans and managing risks. The aim of this research is to study the calculation of expected credit risks following the IFRS9 9 standard and analyze their impact on the credit volume in its application at the National Bank of Iraq. The focus is on understanding the details of the standard and how to apply it to improve risk management and make better decisions in granting loans. Through this research, we have concluded that calculating the expected credit risks by IFRS9 contributes to enhancing the bank's understanding of credit risks and improving its efficiency in risk management, and the correct application of the standard helps in supplying more transparent and predictable financial reporting of potential losses. Based on the findings, there are some recommendations for improving risk management at the National Bank of Iraq and applying the IFRS9 standard. The bank should strengthen its technical capabilities to collect and analyze financial data and credit ratings in a more correct and effective manner, and the bank should supply continuous training to employees on the standard and methods of its implementation and the use of proper predictive models to calculate the expected credit risks. Finally, the bank should give financial reports in an organized and transparent manner, explaining the expected credit volume and the potential risks entailed by this volume. This will help investors and regulators understand the extent of the bank's exposure to credit risks and the efficiency of the bank's risk management.

Abstract

The banking sector is one of the sectors most exposed to risks and the reason is due to the nature of the work of banks that is linked to a group of risks directly.

Abstract

The process of pricing bank loans is one of the most important sources for the bank’s
revenues, as loans represent a large part of the bank’s assets. The research aims to measure and

rate, this leads to a loss of customers by going to other banks to obtain loans, and if a low interest
rate is set, this leads to a loss for the bank. Therefore, banks should use modern methods of
pricing bank loans. The research community represents the banks listed in the market. Iraq Stock

banks listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange that meet the research requirements, and for the period
(2006-2015), and a set of financial indicators were used (return on net funds used, weighted
average cost of capital, Z-Score Profitability objective) Measurable research variables .

Abstract

Banks are exposed to many financial risks that arise when the bank faces difficulty in recovering loans from borrowers, which may affect the bank's assets and its ability to meet its obligations. There are also market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates, stock prices, and exchange rates, which negatively impact the value of assets. In addition, there are liquidity risks related to the bank's inability to meet liquidity needs suddenly, such as the withdrawal of deposits or financing loans, which creates challenges in achieving a balance between profitability and liquidity. Non-financial risks to which banks are exposed include operational risks resulting from the failure of internal systems or procedures, and legal risks arising from failure to comply with laws and regulations, which may lead to fines or legal cases. There are also strategic risks resulting from making incorrect decisions that affect the bank's future, in addition to reputational risks related to damage to the bank's image as a result of customer complaints or financial crises. To manage these risks, banks implement multiple strategies such as hedging, diversifying investments, and ensuring the implementation of regulatory requirements. Risk management helps improve the bank's stability and enhance its ability to make sound financial decisions, enabling it to reduce losses. Potential, capital preservation, and long-term sustainability are guaranteed, which increases the level of trust between clients and investors.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze and evaluate the liquidity and banking performance indicators of the Bank of Baghdad for the period (2018–2023). Liquidity in Iraqi commercial banks is a crucial economic issue that impacts the financial and banking performance of the country, especially due to economic and political fluctuations that may hinder banks from providing sufficient funding for investment projects. This, in turn, negatively affects growth and production, leading to a decline in the financial performance of commercial banks. The research is based on the hypothesis that liquidity has a significant impact on banking performance. It adopts the deductive approach by combining both descriptive-analytical and quantitative methods. The study includes two variables: one independent and one dependent. The independent variable is the banking liquidity shock, while the dependent variables are banking performance, represented by the return on investment (ROI) and earnings per share (EPS). The researcher concluded that the Bank of Baghdad experienced very high liquidity ratios during the study period, indicating its ability to meet obligations and fulfill customer demands. This suggests that the bank enjoys strong financial performance and a solid credit position. However, profitability rates declined due to the bank’s efforts to balance liquidity and profitability.

Abstract

The research aims to test a hypotheses explaining the behavior of commercial banks towards government borrowing in the Iraqi economy on the one hand and the effect of internal government borrowing on bank credit. government borrowing on bank credit. The lazy bank hypothesis is one of the explanations for banking behavior, it believe a continuous increase in government borrowing from commercial banks can create a risk that leads banks to reduce their lending to the risky private sector compared to granting loans to the public (government) sector and thus eliminates their incentives to search for new profitable opportunities To invest in the private sector.
The effect of crowding out means that the rise in government sector spending leads to a decrease in private spending or sometimes even cancellation. The main reason for crowding out is to reduce the government deficit if the government borrows from the market to fill this deficit so the demand for investment in the market increases and the value of money in the market increases automatically And the interest rate increases. Using a method of Co-integration and a Error Correction Model to measure the relationship between internal government borrowing and credit in a short and long term for the period Jan. 2006-May 2020 monthly data . the results of the econometric model supported this hypothesis, which reflects negatively on the size and effectiveness of the private sector and its role in the Iraqi economy

Abstract

The United Arab Emirates has established a distinguished economic and social model characterized by its ability to keep pace with rapid technological and digital transformations, as well as its continuous expansion in investment and development activities. Despite this progress, the UAE remains vulnerable to fluctuations resulting from global economic crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a substantial impact on financial markets, liquidity levels, and capital mobility.

The researcher used the SPSS program to analyze the statistical data, test the hypotheses, and measure the relationships between the variables. The study also referred to the Egyptian experience as a model for implementing green finance strategies and addressing climate change. The research focused on two main hypotheses: the first assumes a significant correlation between green finance strategies and climate change risks across the various dimensions such as environmental, social, economic, governance, and compliance. The second hypothesis assumes that green finance strategies have a statistically significant impact on the management of climate change risks at both the main and sub-variable levels. The importance of the research lies in introducing and deepening the understanding of green finance and climate change issues, and in analyzing the extent to which green finance contributes to addressing climate-related risks. The results of the analysis confirmed the validity of all hypotheses, revealing statistically significant relationships between the strategies (environmental, social, economic, governance) and the three types of climate risks (physical, liability, and transition), which confirms the growing awareness of the importance of green finance.

Abstract

This research aims to diagnose the impact of the quality of bank assets from loans and credit loans on cash flows generated from operating activities by studying a sample of commercial banks listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange for a period of 10 years from 2010 to 2019. The research used the descriptive analytical approach based on the SPSS statistical program by measuring the strength of the correlation between the study variables by simple linear regression and continuity of chains. The problem of the research was whether cash flows through operating activities are affected by the quality of bank assets? The research found that there is a positive moral impact between the quality of assets and cash flows. The quality of assets is a good indicator of the predictability of future cash flows as a result of the direct relationship and the positive impact between them. This encourages banks to focus on achieving the quality of assets with the aim of obtaining cash flows from their operating activities. The research recommends the need to reduce the proportion of non-performing loans through credit undertakings and by managing the potential risks of bank loans and other assets while at the same time adopting sustainability policies that achieve high profitability ratios and thus high cash flows.

Abstract

This research addresses the extent of digital transformation in the Iraqi banking sector, with a focus on a selected sample of Iraqi private banks. The research addresses the extent to which these banks adopt digital technologies to enhance their operations and customer services through quantitative analysis. The results reveal that although there is a growing interest in digital transformation Among Iraqi banks, the digital transformation in Iraqi private banks is still in its early stages compared to global trends. Although there is a growing recognition of the importance of digital technologies by banks, many of them still rely heavily on traditional banking methods, and this is due to This disparity is largely due to different levels of investment in digital infrastructure and different degrees of openness to technological change among bank management, and adoption rates remain uneven across the banking sector. This disparity is largely due to different levels of investment in digital infrastructure and different degrees of openness to technological change among bank management.

Despite these challenges, many banks have begun to implement digital solutions such as online banking, mobile applications and electronic payment systems to meet evolving customer expectations and increase competitiveness. This research highlights the need for strategic investment in digital infrastructure and regulatory reforms to enhance the environment. Conducive to digital innovation, it also emphasizes the importance of educating and raising awareness among customers to increase the adoption of digital banking services, which ultimately contributes to the modernization and growth of the sector.

Abstract

The research aims to explain the measurement and accounting disclosure of lease contracts in accordance with the IFRS 16 standard and its impact on the informational content of the financial statements. To achieve the research objective, the researcher applied the IFRS 16 standard in Gulf Bank because it did not apply the IFRS 16 standard during the period of application of the standard in 2019, and the researcher prepared The financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements of the standard before and after application, and in a retrospective manner, according to what the standard allowed, with other variables held constant. The researcher provided a detailed analysis of the impact of applying IFRS 16 on the informational content of the financial statements by comparing the results before and after application, as well as the impact of that application on Financial ratios.

The researcher reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which are the following:

- The application of the IFRS 16 standard leads to the recognition of the right to use the asset among non-current assets, which leads to an increase in assets with a decrease in prepaid expenses, as a result of the amendments in order to apply the standard represented by reversing the prepaid expenses before application. In addition, recognizing lease obligations as non-current liabilities leads to an increase in total liabilities.

The application of IFRS 16 affects the informational content of the statement of changes in equity, especially when applied using the modified retrospective method, as a decrease in retained earnings resulting from an increase in the volume of expenses due to an increase in debit interest expenses and depreciation expenses leads, therefore, to a decrease in retained earnings.

The research concluded with a number of recommendations, the most important of which are:

- The need for lease contracts to be clearer by stating the important paragraphs that have an impact on the process of accounting treatments related to the application of IFRS 16, which are (duration, payments, purchase option, the extent of the lessee’s control over the asset subject to the lease, and so on).

- The necessity of qualifying staff working in accounting departments in the banking sector, given that it is obligated to apply international standards and other sectors through training on conducting accounting treatments for lease contracts in accordance with the IFRS16 standard, as treatments that are radically different from what used to be the treatment of lease contracts according to local accounting systems.

Abstract

Information from financial reports is the basis upon which users of financial information make various decisions accounting measurement based on historical cost is objective and reliable but not appropriate, as it reflects past events and does not provide future information, hence the global trend of replacing historical cost with fair value, since the information generated is relevant and reflects the unit's true financial position. The research therefore sought to illustrate the impact of fair value adoption on the quality of financial reporting. The importance of research stems from the importance of quality financial reporting because of its significant influence on decision makers.Given the international trend to replace the historical cost basis with fair value accounting measurement, it was important to examine the ability of fair value financial reporting to provide users of financial reporting with financial information and indicators that are appropriate and useful for good economic decision-making and also to identify underlying causes Behind the trend of preparers of International Accounting Standards (IAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to use fair value in accounting measurement. To test the validity of the research hypothesis, the impact of using fair value on the quality of financial reporting was measured by measuring the adequacy of financial reporting at Baghdad commercial bank . The researchers came to several conclusions, the main one being that there is an impact of using fair value on bank activities after its application. They recommended that efforts be made to apply fair value across a wider range of financial assets to include all their assets and liabilities properly according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as the impact may become clearer.

Abstract

The current study examines the impact of income diversification on the profitability and stability of Jordanian commercial banks. The study sample consisted of (13) commercial banks operating in Jordan for the period 2010-2022. The secondary data included in the financial reports and annual budgets issued by the Jordanian commercial banks are also considered. The study employs the ratio of non-interest income to total operating income and the Hirschman-Herfindahl index to measure income diversification, while the return on assets and return on equity indices were used to measure bank profitability. To measure financial stability, the z-score value was calculated. The Panel Data regression model was employed, and the random effect model was chosen to test the study hypotheses. The results showed that the ratio of non-interest income has a positive and significant impact on the profitability of Jordanian commercial banks. This indicates that increasing reliance on non-interest income sources enhances the performance and profitability of Jordanian commercial banks. The results also showed that the HHI index has a positive and significant effect on the profitability and stability of Jordanian commercial banks, which means that increasing the level of diversification in income sources leads to increased profitability and financial stability in Jordanian commercial banks. The study recommended the necessity of encouraging commercial banks to innovate financially and provide digital banking services and other non-traditional services due to their role in increasing profits and financial stability in Jordanian commercial banks.

Abstract

Abstract

This study highlights the vital role played by electronic banking in enhancing financial inclusion in Iraq, considering the challenges facing the financial sector—particularly the limited integration of large segments of the population into the formal banking system. The study is based on a problem concerning the limited role of electronic banking in expanding financial inclusion and seeks to evaluate its actual contribution in this field.

The study aims to diagnose the current state of electronic banking in Iraqi banks, determine the extent of the spread and usage of the services provided among the public, and measure the impact of these services on financial inclusion indicators—such as increasing the number of bank accounts and facilitating access to credit and other financial services. It also reviews the challenges hindering the spread of electronic banking, whether related to infrastructure, the regulatory framework, or the lack of awareness and trust among users.

The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach, relying on official data issued by the central bank and commercial banks, in addition to an inductive approach that traces the relationship between the development of electronic banking and financial inclusion indicators. Despite the persistence of some geographical and social gaps, the study recommends the need to develop digital infrastructure, enhance financial literacy, and update regulatory frameworks to keep pace with the digital transformation of banking in Iraq.

Abstract

      The current study aimed to investigate the impact of the structure deposits on the profitability of Iraqi Islamic banks over the period from 2016 to 2022 using data of 13 banks. We employed cross-sectional time series models (panel data), including the pooled regression model, the fixed effects model, and the random effects model to analyze the impact of the deposit structure on the bank profitability.

The results indicated that the current deposits represented the largest proportion of the deposit structure in Iraqi Islamic banks. Additionally, the results revealed a negative and significant effect of the current deposit ratio on the profitability of these banks. This could be attributed to Islamic banks holding a considerable proportion of demand deposits; which could be withdrawn at any time and Islamic banks guarantee repayment of the principal deposited, and account holders do not have rights to a share in the profits. Therefore, Islamic banks usually invest only a small fraction of the current accounts.  In contrast, we found a positive and significant impact of the savings deposit ratio and the investment deposit ratio on the profitability of Iraqi Islamic banks. The study recommends that Islamic banks should adopt strategies aimed at attracting more deposits, particularly investment deposits, due to their stability and flexibility in investment. Such these deposits can be utilized for medium- and long-term investments, providing further opportunities to increase profitability.

Abstract

Abstract

Foreign trade is one of the basic sectors of any country's economy. It is of great importance in developing economic relations between countries worldwide, especially developed and developing countries, through the import and export of goods and services, both visible and invisible, and the movement of capital and gold trading. Foreign trade activities are usually carried out through the mechanism of linking the exchange rate of the local currency to foreign currencies. The importance of this study lies in highlighting the fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against a basket of foreign currencies, especially the US dollar. These fluctuations directly affect the economy in general and the costs of importing goods and services in particular. This study aims to measure and analyze the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on Iraqi imports for the period 2004–2023. To achieve the study objective, the study relied on time series data and used the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to analyze the relationship between the dependent and explanatory variables in the long and short term. The study found a statistically significant positive relationship at the 5% level between the exchange rate and imports in the long term, which means that the rise in exchange rates in Iraq led to an increase in the volume of imports during the study period. based on these results, the study recommends the need to create a stable economic environment for the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against foreign currencies, especially the US dollar, in addition to strengthening the role of the Central Bank of Iraq in controlling the official and parallel exchange rates to limit their negative impact on the increase in consumer imports.

Abstract

Despite the successive governments’ efforts to achieve the dimensions of sustainable development in Iraq, the current reality indicates that Iraq remains one of the countries lagging in this field. Therefore, this research analyzes the status of the banking sector in light of banking reforms and the capital market’s role in promoting and achieving the dimensions of sustainable development. It sheds light on some key indicators and concludes with a set of findings, the most important of which is that Iraq is still behind in realizing sustainable development due to the difficult circumstances it faces. These include the persistent deficit in the general budget, the lack of genuine efforts to achieve sustainable development, increasing environmental pollution, and the widespread phenomenon of financial and administrative corruption, all of which can undermine any development plan. The research concludes with a set of recommendations, the most significant of which are: monitoring the outcomes of strategic plans set by government institutions within their work programs and disclosing achievement rates in creating opportunities, employment, and realizing the benefits of large-scale production; strengthening cooperation between banks and the capital market by having banks offer diversified financial and investment services within the capital market; establishing green investment funds jointly financed by banks and investors to support sustainable development; and raising awareness among investors about the importance of sustainable development and their role in achieving it.

Abstract

The research aims to study and analyze the cognitive foundations of analytical procedures and the efficiency of external auditors, in addition to reviewing the relevant literature on the quality of financial reporting. It focuses on the extent to which analytical procedures are applied and on verifying the external auditor’s commitment to their implementation within a selected sample of Iraqi banks (Iraqi National Bank) The study is based on the hypothesis that adopting sound analytical procedures, supported by an audit team that is scientifically and professionally qualified, positively impacts the quality of financial reporting of the audited entity. To achieve the research objectives, the financial statements of the sampled banks were analyzed using financial ratios representing liquidity, activity, leverage, and profitability.

Through a comparison between the ratios used by the external auditors and those applied by the researcher, it was found that the auditors primarily focused on liquidity indicators, applying only the current ratio, without extending the analysis to other ratios related to activity, profitability, and leverage.

The findings revealed that the effective application of analytical procedures by competent external auditors enhances the quality of financial reporting, as each element reinforces the other’s effectiveness; any weakness in one dimension directly affects the reliability of financial reports.

The researcher recommends that analytical procedures and financial ratios be applied by auditors throughout all stages of the audit process, as they provide essential support in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests, while maintaining previous results for comparative and future evaluation purposes..

Abstract

The study targeted a critical issue in the Iraqi economy, represented by the challenges facing political and economic decision-makers in supporting the Iraqi industry.

Abstract

In recent years, institutions have faced increasing challenges, including resource scarcity, shifting customer expectations regarding service quality, and growing commitments to economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Amid these challenges, international reports, including the 2024 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) report, highlight the limited progress towards achieving the SDGs in Iraq. The report indicates that nearly half of the goals are showing only slight or moderate progress, while more than a third are moving in the opposite direction. This reality underscores the need for continuous improvement in institutional processes, a goal to which Total Quality Management (TQM) contributes by enhancing performance efficiency, optimizing resource utilization, and developing skills. This issue is particularly relevant in Iraq, as the World Bank's SDGs report indicates a performance gap of 34.1%, making an analysis of TQM's role essential to understanding its contribution to bridging this gap. This research aims to analyze the impact of Total Quality Management (TQM) on achieving sustainable development within the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity. This is achieved by measuring the level of TQM implementation and its reflection on performance indicators. The study relied on a sample of 100 department and division managers. A total of 130 questionnaires were distributed, 110 were returned, and 100 valid questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS software. The results showed a clear understanding among the sample of the importance of TQM practices in promoting sustainable development. Furthermore, the results indicated a statistically significant impact of TQM on sustainable development. The study recommends strengthening the adoption of TQM principles within the Ministry of Electricity as a framework for improving processes and enhancing performance efficiency. This will contribute to bridging the performance gap and achieving tangible progress towards sustainable development.

Abstract

The global economy is going through multiple unexpected events and changes that will affect the banking sector, and therefore it is imperative to search for a tool that helps protect the banking institution and the banking sector, especially after the recent global financial crisis, as stress tests appeared, which in turn support management Risks in detecting banking risks before they arise, and therefore these tests give a dose of immunity to the banking community to protect it from expected and unexpected events. The research concluded that the banking stress test scenarios have partially affected the efficiency ratios that the banks have in the research sample, due to the durability of their financial suitability. Banks should apply the tests periodically and consider them as a shield that protects them from external influences.

Abstract

The role of small and medium enterprises is essential in economic and social development and is the focus of attention of governments and international organizations, most notably the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. Their importance increases in developing countries because they represent the only realistic prospects for economic development and an effective tool for addressing the problem of unemployment and poverty there. The research aims to clarify the concept of small and medium enterprises and their role in achieving comprehensive economic and social development in Iraq in the current and future stages. The descriptive and deductive approaches were followed, in an attempt to link small and medium enterprises and sustainable development in the Iraqi economy in this research. Small and medium enterprises face a number of obstacles that limit their contribution and effectiveness in sustainable development in Iraq, then explaining the most important details in order to develop appropriate solutions for them. In this research, we will focus on several concepts for small and medium enterprises and shed light on the most important conclusions, including that the private sector of small and medium enterprises is in dire and necessary need of government support to be able to advance and develop. In conclusion, a number of recommendations were presented for the development of small and medium enterprises, and we hope that they will be of assistance in the research topic, including the urgent need for the Iraqi government to play an important role in creating supportive regulatory frameworks through collective funds and other mechanisms, establishing microfinance units in the Ministry of Trade and the Central Bank of Iraq to provide the necessary consultations for the work of small projects.

Abstract

This study examined the impact of a rentier economy on the independence of monetary policy in Iraq after 2004, considering Iraq as a rentier state that relies heavily on oil revenues. The study included an analysis of the relationship between the rentier economy and monetary policy, as well as the effects of the rentier economy on the independence of monetary policy. It found that dependence on oil to finance public expenditures leads to a reduction in monetary policy independence.

The results showed that the rentier economy has a significant impact on the independence of monetary policy in Iraq, and that there is a pressing need to diversify the economy and reduce reliance on oil in order to mitigate the risks arising from fluctuations in oil prices, which affect state revenues. Consequently, when the government faces a deficit, it compels the central bank to adopt an expansionary monetary policy to finance this deficit, which in turn undermines monetary policy independence.

The study reached a number of conclusions and recommendations that the researcher believes are aimed at strengthening the independence of monetary policy in rentier states.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to present the reality of financial inclusion in Iraq, by analyzing the behavior and trends of its financial indicators according to its dimensions (access and usage) for the period (2014 to 2024). This research aims to determine the level of financial inclusion in Iraq and its most important pillars. Based on the basic premise that financial inclusion in Iraq can be measured and analyzed, and the development of its indicators can be monitored. Financial inclusion in Iraq can be expressed using four sets of indicators: banking density and banking penetration, and the spread of electronic payment services to express access. Mobile payment services, and electronic card and bank account penetration indicators, were used to express usage. Two factors were identified as constraints on achieving financial inclusion requirements in Iraq: the financial infrastructure and technology, and the lack of widespread financial awareness among individuals and the skill required to select financial products. This has led to a lack of digital transaction culture among Iraqis, as well as a lack of confidence in financial transactions in this context, due to the prevalence of hacking, fraud, and deception. It is impossible to advance financial inclusion levels in Iraq without addressing these two important and interconnected constraints.

Abstract

The research aims to measure the impact of public budget indicators and institutional quality (the quality of governing institutions in the economy) in reducing public debt for a selected group of Arab countries with renter economies for the period (2002-2023). Two standard models have been built to achieve this goal: The first model focused on measuring the impact of the general budget through its basic indicators represented by public spending and public revenues expressed in tax revenues, with the introduction of the oil price variable as a control variable due to its fundamental importance in explaining the dynamics of public debt in oil economies. The second model focused on measuring the impact of the six institutional quality indicators issued by the World Bank (control of corruption, political stability, government effectiveness, rule of law, voice and issue, and regulatory quality) on public debt. Using static analysis of longitudinal data models represented by its three models (pooled regression model, fixed effects model, and random effects model) for eight Arab oil countries, the research reached a set of results: For general budget indicators, the results showed that reducing public spending can contribute to reducing public debt, while there was no significant effect of oil revenues. While for oil prices, they had an impact in reducing public debt. As for institutional quality indicators, the results showed the impact of (political stability, government effectiveness, voice and issue) on reducing public debt, while the results showed that (control of corruption, rule of law, and regulatory quality) contribute to the accumulation of public debt. Therefore, the results of this research confirm the importance of the financial budget and institutional quality in reducing public debt and its sustainability in the long run.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the role of the financing structure variables in reducing the financial fragility of private commercial banks. Bank operation and continuity. In its practical aspect, the study relied on a set of published financial reports and statements for two of the banks listed in the Iraqi Stock Exchange for the period between 2005 - 2019. And to test its main hypothesis, multiple regressions was used in the method of regressive deletion. The study reached a set of results, perhaps the most important of which is that there is a statistically significant inverse effect between ownership finance and financial fragility in the study sample banks. Traditional and modern hedging mechanisms that help it get rid of fragility, as well as the application of the Altman model to measure financial fragility and determine its financial position.

Abstract

The research evaluated the performance of the Iraqi economy for the period 1991-2021, and the extent of the success of the fiscal and monetary policies in achieving the desired goals, by analyzing the developments that occurred in the main macroeconomic variables included in the Kaldor square (economic growth rate, foreign trade balance, inflation rate, Unemployment rate), and an attempt to determine the causes of these developments and the circumstances surrounding them, and then compare them with the optimal goals specified in the Kaldor square to show the extent to which they have been achieved. The research was based on the hypothesis that the macroeconomic performance in Iraq during the aforementioned period is far from the possibility of achieving the combined goals of the Kaldor square, and even if they were partially achieved, they would not be economically meaningful. To complete the research steps, the descriptive analytical method was adopted to study and analyze the developments that occurred in the variables under study. Among the challenges that the researcher faced during the study was the scarcity or inaccuracy of data related to the case study. The researcher reached a number of conclusions, the most prominent of which was proving the validity of the research hypothesis. The most prominent recommendations were the necessity of diversifying the economy and reducing dependence on oil, as well as reconsidering the central bank’s policy to achieve price stability by taking the competitiveness of local products into account.

Abstract

This research examines the economic impact of geopolitical crises on international trade by analyzing changes in trade flows and strategic commodity prices during the period 2008–2023. The study relies on data from the World Bank, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and SESRIC, employing multiple econometric models including Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Difference-in-Differences (DiD), and the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The findings reveal that geopolitical crises such as economic sanctions, wars, and the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative effect on global trade flows, accompanied by sharp increases in oil, wheat, and natural gas prices. The study concludes that strong economic blocs, such as BRICS and the European Union, have played a crucial role in mitigating these negative effects, highlighting the importance of economic integration in addressing global disruptions.     

Abstract

Debt structure is a crucial focal point in banking sector performance, as the distribution of debt between short-term and long-term affects financial risks and the market value of banks. Within the Iraqi economic environment undergoing structural transformations, analysing this impact emerges as a strategic tool to enhance banking stability and attract investments. This study provides an in-depth analytical perspective on the impact of debt structure dimensions (short-term, long-term, and total) on the performance of Iraqi commercial banks, based on comprehensive field data and advanced statistical models, to offer actionable recommendations. This study aimed to analyse the impact of debt structure dimensions (short-term debt, long-term debt, and total debt) on the market value of Iraqi commercial banks. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical approach. The study population comprised (366) individuals from top, middle, and executive management levels, utilizing a comprehensive survey method. A set of statistical tools was employed, including (percentages, frequencies, arithmetic means, standard deviations, factor loadings, and impact analysis), relying on the (SmartPLS.4) program for structural equation modelling. The results revealed a high level of the overall performance indicator for both debt structure and market value. Furthermore, they demonstrated a statistically significant impact of all debt structure dimensions on the market value of the banking sector under study. In light of the findings, the study recommended developing programs to issue medium/long-term bonds in partnership with the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), allocating at least 20% of the credit portfolio to this type of financing to support infrastructure projects with stable returns.

Abstract

The issue of monetary policies and their role in achieving economic stability and economic growth aims at price stability as a primary goal, and with the diversity and development of monetary policy tools, it has become an important part of the comprehensive economic policy in countries in general. As a result of the serious negative effects of inflation and its reflection on the economy, economic policy makers worked on using monetary policy tools to address inflation by influencing the supply of money and demand for it in line with a set of economic goals and the prevailing economic conditions in the country concerned. Central banks have adopted the monetary policy tool and their implementation, as the Central Bank of Iraq worked to adopt a set of technical and legislative measures through its monetary tools to achieve stability in the general level of prices. The researcher aims to identify a more effective tool than the monetary policy tools in dealing with inflation in Iraq for the period 1991-2019. The results of the test showed that open market operations had an impact in the current year and the previous year on inflation. The researcher used the tools of modern standard and mathematical tests that would determine Factors affecting inflation, as the study used the NARDL model to separate the negative and positive differences for each variable, and then tested them on the dependent variable, and this is a somewhat modern method in standard tests.

Abstract

The research aims to evaluate the performance of banks using the PATROL model as a modern model that departs from traditional evaluation models. The model used is considered an early warning tool and includes five indicators: “(capital adequacy, profitability, credit risk, regulation, liquidity).” The research methodology included the use of the descriptive aspect based on books, research, dissertations, and theses, in addition to the use of the analytical aspect through the use of mathematical equations for the indicators of the model used. The research sample represented banks (Sumer Commercial, International Islamic) due to the availability of their data announced in the stock market, in addition to not displaying the research sample to any Violations during its banking work and throughout the research period extending between (2017-2022) for the purpose of making a comparison between them when using the model in evaluating their performance and determining the best in performance. The research hypothesis was proven that the PATROL model can be used in evaluating the performance of commercial and Islamic banks. The research reached a number of conclusions. The most important of which is that using the model helps bank management in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of performance, which helps decision makers develop effective solutions to obstacles and problems in a timely manner. One of the most important main recommendations of the research is directing banks to the necessity of following up on the performance evaluation process to achieve their banking soundness and ensure their sustainability and continuity in the job.

Abstract

The syudy aims to analyses the impact of the foreign exchange window on the exchange rate of the iraqi dinar for the period 2003-2021. rentier economies that suffer from inefficient traditional channels for the transfer of monetary policy to the real sector due to their disrupted economic structure and heavy dependence on imports to meet domestic demand apply direct instruments such as the foreign exchange window. the exchange rate is a critical tool used by the monetary authority to maintain price stability and target inflation. the foreign exchange sale window is an effective mean of directly affecting the exchange rate and is an interim tool for crossing a transitional period and ensuring monetary stability during this period. the research concluded that the foreign exchange window affects the exchange rate of the iraqi dinar and this effect was uneven during the study period. the results of the study showed that the exchange rate of the iraqi dinar responded to the monetary authoritys porcedures of employing part of the reserves to maintain its stability during the period 2003-2010 while the period 2011-2020 showed a weak response to the central bank interventions and thus higher gap between the nominal and parallel exchange rate.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the nature of the relationship between deposit structure and financial recovery in commercial banks. The sample consisted of ten Iraqi commercial banks during the period 2014–2023, and the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method was applied to analyze the relationship and effects among the study variables. The findings reveal that the deposit structure has a significant impact on several financial recovery indicators, namely return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), capital adequacy ratio (CAR), and non-performing loans (NPL). The results further indicate that both savings deposits and time deposits exerted a negative effect on ROA, reflecting the limited ability of Iraqi banks to allocate depositors’ funds efficiently and generate adequate returns. Conversely, time deposits showed a clear positive impact on ROE. In addition, all types of deposits were found to have a positive and significant effect on both NPL and CAR, suggesting that growth in deposits increases lending activities and profitability, while also being associated with higher levels of non-performing loans. The significance of this study stems from the fact that deposits represent the primary source of funding for commercial banks and account for the largest share of their resources. However, the distribution of deposits by type and maturity does not necessarily guarantee financial recovery, particularly in light of the financial, health, economic, political, and technological crises that have adversely affected the Iraqi banking sector. Accordingly, the central research question is posed: To what extent does the deposit structure contribute to strengthening the ability of Iraqi commercial banks to achieve financial recovery?   The study concludes that bank managements should improve the quality of banking services and adopt both pricing and non-pricing strategies to attract more stable deposits, while directing them toward high-quality assets and investments that can enhance financial performance.

Abstract

This study aimed to demonstrate the impact of financial and operational risks on the profitability of Iraqi Islamic banks as of (2014-2019), where the study population consists of all employees of Iraqi Islamic banks, with a total of (8) banks. The sample of the study consisted of (50) individuals. Eviews software was used for statistical analysis, and the analytical descriptive statistical method was applied in this study. To achieve the study objectives, the following indicators were used to express financial risks: credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and capital adequacy risk. The indicators below were used to express: With regard to financial performance (return on assets, return on equity), the difficulty of the research was the significant growth in these risks due to technological progress and the creation of new financial instruments, and the study found that financial risks had a harmful effect On the financial performance of the Iraqi banks. In the light of the previous results. The report concluded with a number of suggestions, the most important of which are: the need for Iraqi banks to implement a specific plan for risk management that improves financial performance, as well as setting up preventive and corrective internal control mechanisms. Credit grants are expanded.

Abstract

Achieving sustainable development requires a framework for decision-making, accountability, and management, which good governance provides. According to the World Bank's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) report, Iraq has a performance gap of 34.1% in achieving the SDGs, which constitutes the applied problem of this study. Therefore, this study seeks to answer the main question: What is the role of good governance in achieving sustainable development through the mediation of Total Quality Management (TQM)? To achieve this, the study was conducted in the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity, and a sample of 100 department and division managers was selected. To collect data from this sample, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to 130 managers, of which 110 were returned, and 100 of these were deemed valid for analysis, representing the final sample size. Furthermore, the study employed quantitative analysis of the performance indicators adopted by the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity. The study utilized a deductive approach and a descriptive-analytical method in presenting and analyzing its data. The data was analyzed using SPSS software. The study concluded that the surveyed sample recognizes the importance of good governance indicators in achieving sustainable development. The analysis revealed that good governance has a significant and statistically significant impact on sustainable development, and that the influence of good governance indicators on sustainable development is growing. The study recommended that the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity adopt good governance indicators as a framework for decision-making, accountability, and efficiency to improve its performance towards achieving sustainable development.

Abstract

 The issue of drugs is a pressing concern that is gaining increasing importance globally due to its profound impact on communities and individual health. Drug use leads to a wide range of negative effects, affecting both physical and mental health, resulting in chronic health issues such as depression, anxiety, and heart diseases. Additionally, drug use is associated with an increased risk of infectious diseases, such as HIV and hepatitis, particularly among youth populations.

Furthermore, drug abuse contributes to family disintegration and rising crime rates, as addicts may resort to illegal activities to fund their habits, leading to an increase in thefts and other crimes. This phenomenon also erodes social relationships and heightens economic pressures on individuals and families.

Research indicates that the economic costs resulting from drug use encompass healthcare burdens, increased spending on social welfare programs, and loss of productivity. Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive response from all stakeholders, including governments, civil society organizations, and the private sector.

This study reviews the social and economic impacts of drug use, providing a thorough analysis based on current research and studies. It also includes practical recommendations for improving prevention and treatment strategies, including enhancing collaboration among various institutions and developing effective educational and awareness programs.
