PDF Full Text
Abstract

The issues of combating poverty and sustainable development are among the most prominent challenges facing both developing and developed societies. Despite the efforts made by governments and international organizations, poverty still directly affects many countries, calling for the adoption of effective investment policies that improve economic and social conditions. Investment in combating poverty includes financial resources allocated to programs and policies aimed at improving the living standards of individuals in poor communities. This includes investments by governments and international organizations in sectors such as education, health, clean water, social finance, and job opportunities. Investing in combating poverty and achieving sustainable development is a long-term process that requires strong commitment from governments, international institutions, and civil society organizations alike. Investment in this area represents a cornerstone for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, which are not limited to improving economic conditions but also extend to promoting social justice and reducing development gaps between different segments of society. The research addresses seizing investment opportunities in Babil Governorate for the period 2021-2024 across all governorate projects. Among the most important conclusions of the research is the need to increase investment in infrastructure and local labor, as well as investment in projects targeting the poorest segments of the governorate's population. The most important finding of the research is the significant impact of investment opportunities in combating poverty and improving the living conditions of the governorate's residents. This contributes to achieving sustainable development for Babil Governorate in particular and Iraq in general.

PDF Full Text
Abstract

As the stock market becomes increasingly important as a primary driver of economic development, understanding the fundamentals that influence the development of these markets becomes crucial. This topic provides a comprehensive review of the basic foundations of the stock market, with a focus on market models in Jordan and Iraq. It explains the impact of economic, political and legislative stability on the attractiveness of investments and investor confidence in the market stressing the importance of understanding investor culture and its impact on investment decision making, in light of the current economic transformations.

Due to the fluctuations experienced by the stock market in Iraq as a result of the economic and political conditions in the country, the prices of stocks and bonds vary constantly between high and low, and this greatly affects economic activity there. This topic aims to explain the state of the stock market in Iraq, explain the basic foundations on which this market must be based, and compare it with the stock market in Jordan.

It is clear that the economic environment reflects economic policy and the factors affecting it. As the state of the economy in the country greatly affects the stock market, the presence of a stable economic environment increases confidence among investor and traders in the market, and the culture of investors and their understanding of financial risks and investment opportunities is affected by the economic environment.

Political stability gives internal and external investments confidence to invest in the financial market, while political turmoil can lead to a decline in confidence and a reduction in investment, providing a stable security environment in the stock market in Iraq leads to a noticeable development in its laws and regulations.
