Abstract
The Iraqi economy relies entirely on oil revenues to meet its needs and plans, highlighting the precariousness of the situation should global oil prices decline for political and economic reasons. Given that oil is a finite resource, it is imperative to pursue economic diversification and leverage all economic sectors as the cornerstone and driving force for building a robust economy and achieving comprehensive development. This necessitates good governance in implementing economic reform programs and exploring strategic alternatives to achieve economic growth. The Iraqi economy possesses alternatives and opportunities for economic diversification and various sources of income. However, it has not fully utilized its diverse natural and agricultural resources, which are crucial for supporting economic growth. Development is not merely about frameworks, institutions, and aspirations; it requires political, economic, social, and cultural prerequisites that must be organized and updated in a gradual and practical manner. It also necessitates addressing internal and external challenges that interact with evolving societal changes. This requires awareness and determination to achieve the desired goals through investment spending, increased productivity, and ultimately, a higher gross national product.
Abstract
This essay looks at Iraq's attempts to stabilize its administrative and economic sectors in the face of difficulties brought on by both internal and foreign causes that have put a strain on the country's resources. The necessity for regulatory changes, especially the enactment and enforcement of an Anti-Monopoly Law (AML), has been highlighted by problems including excessive unemployment, a lack of public funding, and pervasive administrative inefficiencies. This law is essential for combating corruption and governmental monopoly activities, which have hampered public sector performance and caused administrative disarray. The study looks at how unfair practices that compromise justice and equitable governance have been sustained in Iraq's administrative sector due to ineffective AML enforcement. This study illustrates the advantages of adopting AML in reducing anti-competitive practices and promoting fair market dynamics by comparing China's Anti-Monopoly Law with an examination of Mexican anti-competitive laws. Iraq can significantly improve administrative performance and ensure fair competition by putting in place a strong AML framework that restricts government overreach and lessens cooperation between public officials and private entities. This will ultimately support a more balanced economy and fairer governance.
Abstract
The study aimed to identify the impact of financial policy tools in achieving economic growth and to show the most important causes and factors of imbalances in the performance of financial policies in Sudan. The problem of the study was mainly represented in the financial imbalance represented by the deficit in the general budget resulting from the huge difference between public revenues and public expenditures, in addition to the ineffectiveness of financial policy tools, which led to an excessive expansion in printing more new money, and this led to a rise in the general level of prices (inflation), which was reflected in the slowdown in economic growth rates, The importance of the study stems from the urgent and pressing need to research this modern topic and the fact that its results and recommendations are of benefit to researchers, academics and decision-makers, The study followed the descriptive analytical approach, the historical approach, the inductive approach, and the statistical approach, The study came out with a number of results, the most important of which are: The results of estimating the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model in the long run showed the existence of statistically significant relationships between GDP growth and each of taxes, public spending, and public debt. It became clear that both public revenues (taxes) and public spending have significant and positive effects on economic growth in the long run, The study presented a number of recommendations, including: the necessity of enhancing the growth of the gross domestic product and making it high and sustainable by increasing production and productivity of the economic sectors (agricultural, industrial, service) Expanding and diversifying the tax base to increase public revenues, meet the increase in public spending, and control and rationalize government spending so as not to create a large deficit in the general budget Public debt management is being pursued in two parallel directions: the first is to find optimal ways to repay the debt, while not resorting to indebtedness except when absolutely necessary, and the second is to reach the point of completion in accordance with the HIPC initiative.
Abstract
Public expenditures undertaken by the government are the basic element in providing the public life requirements of individuals and thus achieving development goals in general. However، public expenditures in Iraq are characterized by the fact that a large portion of them goes as current expenditures، while a small portion of them is directed to investment in various economic sectors، including health. education and others. Therefore، the research concluded that there is a large deficit in Iraq between the great actual need for services and achieving the planned development requirements and the low actual reality، especially in the health sector. The research recommended that there should be special attention in this sector by the government to ensure Sustainable annual growth in providing and improving these services to all individuals in Iraq in order to achieve the sustainable development goals that the United Nations seeks to achieve until 2030.
Abstract
This research aims to analyze the economic imbalances caused by local factors related to the nature of overall activity. These imbalances can be commodity-based, stemming from imbalances in aggregate supply and demand; financial, from imbalances in the general budget; or monetary, from imbalances between the supply and demand for money. Within this research framework, we can focus on the occurrence of these imbalances and their impact on deepening poverty, especially given that the Iraqi economy suffers from a set of structural imbalances: a rentier economy and dependence on crude oil, coupled with a clear weakness in the contribution of other productive sectors such as agriculture and industry. This has led to weak economic diversification and income inequality. The research is based on the hypothesis that there is a direct relationship between structural imbalances and high poverty rates in Iraq. To test this hypothesis, the descriptive and analytical methods were used, examining economic sectors and analyzing the evolution of poverty rates. The research concluded that dependence on a rentier economy, the inefficiency of fiscal policies and income redistribution, as well as developmental disparities between governorates, have all contributed to deepening poverty and fluctuating its rates. The results also showed that improvements in poverty levels were temporary and dependent on... The increase in oil revenues is a direct result of economic policies, and based on this, the research recommends diversifying income sources, strengthening the role of productive sectors, and improving the efficiency of economic and social policies to reduce structural imbalances and decrease poverty rates in Iraq.
Abstract
Foreign trade is an important component of any country's economy because it reflects the extent of the interdependence of this country, the extent of its relations with the countries of the other world, the extent to which mutual benefits are, achieved between these countries and the relative advantages achieved for each country. The customs tariff, as a financial and protectionist tool, has an important role in influencing the balance of payments through the trade balance. Any country that suffers from a deficit in the trade balance, especially developing countries due to the high volume of imports over exports, resorts to the customs tariff because it is the easiest and safest tool to treat this deficit whose effects on The balance of payments as well as the amount of existing foreign exchange reserves to be able to fill the deficit in the remaining balance of payments accounts, such as the financial account, for example,
There is no doubt that the customs tariff exerts an indirect influence on the movement of local investments by giving allowances or emphasizing the import of raw materials or by imposing high tariffs on foreign investors so that the local investor can protect himself and secure his investments inside the country, and this was reversed in a hypothetical indicator To clarify the effect of the tariff on these investments, the research reached an important conclusion, which is the weak effect of the customs tariff on the overall macroeconomic variables due to the weak awareness of the economic authority of the importance of this element and that the trade openness had a negative impact on foreign trade, the expansion of the import structure, and the stability of the structure of exports. The recommendations stipulated in the research is to activate the social and economic role of the tariff by directing customs revenues towards supporting and strengthening the economic sectors to confront foreign competition
Abstract
Iraq is considered one of the countries most dependent on oil to cover government expenditures and external payments, as it is a rentier economy, lacks a diverse production base, and is unable to develop its revenue sources to achieve comprehensive economic development. In order to lift Iraq out of this deficit and achieve economic diversification and economic growth, it is necessary to expand the capacity to produce and export crude oil, in line with achieving well-being and prosperity. Economic. The growing reliance on this resource has made the Iraqi economy constantly vulnerable to price fluctuations in global oil markets. Hence, the research aimed to analyze the importance of crude oil revenues in supporting Iraqi economic growth for the period (2010-2024). And how it is affected by a number of Influencing factors, oil prices in the international market, and their impact on Iraqi economic activity. One of the most prominent conclusions reached by the researcher is that oil exports play a very important role in increasing the rates of economic development by supporting other economic sectors. The importance of oil lies in its provision of financial savings that are essential for financing economic and social development programmers.
Abstract
This research focuses on the extent of interest in sustainable finance in Iraq, given its mono-economy, and the degree to which the Iraqi financial market can be utilized to achieve this important goal. This is particularly relevant as most countries worldwide are making significant progress in this area due to its social and environmental implications. The aim is to mitigate the negative impacts of traditional financing methods on other economic activities that lack sustainability. The analysis revealed a significant lack of focus on sustainable finance within the activities of the Iraqi Stock Exchange, with the exception of a few limited-impact green financial issuances. The most prominent recommendation is to work diligently to create diverse financial instruments, both equity and debt, to expand sustainable financing activities targeting various economic sectors. This would help mitigate the widespread negative environmental and climatic impacts that Iraq suffers from as a result of traditional economic activities.
Abstract
The problem of the housing sector is considered one of the most important problems that the Iraqi society has suffered from since the fifties of the last century, for several reasons, such as the large and rapid population increase that occurred in recent decades, and the accompanying large-scale migration from rural areas to city centers, and reasons related to the political, economic and security conditions. In addition to the weakness of the financing system due to weak financing policies supporting housing, as the crisis increased due to the growing housing need, which is estimated at about (3) million housing units, so the Central Bank pursued an unconventional monetary policy to activate the real economic sectors, including the housing sector, in order to alleviate the severity of the crisis housing in Iraq, and the Real Estate Bank has played a major role in providing real estate loans and alleviating the housing crisis under the initiative of the Central Bank of Iraq.
Abstract
The research problem stems from the increasing challenges facing the telecommunications sector amidst a highly competitive and rapidly evolving technological environment. Organizations in this sector are striving to adopt Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to enhance their performance; however, there remains a knowledge gap regarding the actual and tangible impact of these systems on organizational performance indicators within the local context. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the impact of implementing ERP system dimensions (Information Integration, Information Quality, and Process Efficiency) on enhancing organizational performance efficiency dimensions (Operational Efficiency, Performance Quality, and Speed of Completion) within telecommunications companies operating in the Middle Euphrates provinces (Babylon, Karbala, and Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf). The research adopted the descriptive-analytical approach. The results revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between the implementation of ERP systems and organizational performance efficiency. Regression analysis indicated that ERP implementation explains 52% of the variance in organizational performance efficiency. Detailed findings showed that the "Process Efficiency" dimension was the most influential on "Operational Efficiency" and "Speed of Completion," while the "Information Quality" dimension was the strongest predictor of "Performance Quality." Based on these results, the research recommends that companies invest in improving data quality, re-engineering processes to align with system requirements, providing continuous training programs for employees, and ensuring top management support. The research also suggests conducting future studies that incorporate mediating variables, such as organizational culture, and expanding the scope to include other economic sectors using diverse research methodologies to deepen the understanding of this relationship.
Abstract
It is impossible to overstate how important employees are to a small business' survival and how well they are managed. This is especially true because, smaller businesses depend more on the individual contributions of the employees to the overall success of the business. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are significantly more prevalent than large corporations worldwide and employ a greater proportion of the labor force. In many economic sectors, SMEs are credited with fostering competition and innovation. While SMEs in Nigeria produce more jobs than large companies do, they also face difficulties that call for the assistance of experts from a variety of fields, including human resources managers. Therefore, this study uses a basic literature review and desk research approach to investigate the potential role of human resource management in SMEs in Nigeria. The main issues with SMEs' prior to the COVID-19 pandemic are identified as being insufficient skills and training, as well as depression and high labor turnover during the pandemic in Nigeria. In order to increase their effectiveness and efficiency in Nigeria, efforts are made to encourage SMEs to implement human resource management philosophies. As a result of the fact that no organization, no matter how big or small, can function without people, the study comes to the conclusion that human resource management is crucial. The study therefore recommends, among other things, that in order for Nigeria to experience sustainable post-COVID-19 business growth, SMEs must immediately implement human resource management strategies.
