Abstract

Dumping is one of the tools of trade policy, and it is one of the tools commonly used among countries in their international economic relations, even after the World Trade Organization banned it in its agreements, when it was established in 1995.
The anti-dumping process is the most dangerous weapon against the liberalization and obstruction of global trade, and with the persistence of this situation for long periods, it has become necessary to follow the anti-dumping policy in most countries, especially the developing countries and especially the Arab ones, to reduce the effects that may affect the process of commercial trading between countries. Coordination between the Arab and developing countries within the framework of the World Trade Organization, in addition to granting real powers to the dispute settlement body with an assessment and study of the degree of damage to balance it with the economic and social damages that affect the exporting country as a result of anti-dumping, as well as the harm affecting the importing country, so it is not fair to address The focus is on the damages of the advanced industrial countries only, and their neglect of what may befall developing countries, and with this research we will shed light on the experiences of some countries with trade dumping, and what caused it.

Abstract

Given the important role played by financial inclusion in supporting economic development and reducing poverty, the study analyzed and interpreted the mechanisms of influence through which financial inclusion indicators can influence poverty. The study aimed to frame the theoretical foundations for studying the impact, as well as to build a quantitative model that has the ability to diagnose the nature of that impact, its direction and size, and to explain the mechanism and channels of its transmission, by relying on balanced double data (Balanced Panel Data), which had 40 observations, and through a model. Fixed Effect Model for a sample of developing countries and for the years (2005-2010-2015-2020).

The research seeks to get acquainted with the theoretical frameworks and empirical studies taken from the analysis and interpretation of the mechanism and channels of transmission of the impact that financial inclusion can exert on poverty, as well as the exploration of an objective quantitative model that has the ability to diagnose the nature, direction and size of that impact and to interpret the mechanism and channels of its transmission, based on data Balanced Panel Data through the fixed effect model (FEM) for a sample of developing countries for the years (2005-2010-2015-2020). The estimation results revealed that the indicator variable of the number of commercial bank branches per 100,000 adults (CBBA) had a positive effect, while the indicator of automatic teller machines per 100,000 adults (ATMAD) reflected its negative effect on the poverty index (P).

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. Therefore, it is necessary for the bank to have an efficient and efficient internal control through which it can control the bank’s resources from the risk of waste and loss.

Therefore, the idea of establishing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision came from the banks’ need to strengthen the internal control and increase its solidity to face risks effectively. The increase and exacerbation of global indebtedness, especially in developing countries, so if the banks are committed to applying the requirements of Basel III, this will help reduce risks and control the available resources and reduce.

Abstract

A major global reform movement has emerged in the last decades of the twentieth century, encompassing a range of political, economic and social aspects. The collapse of national borders, the globalization of economic activities and transactions, increased competition and free trade, the collapse of the economic structure, and the high rates of poverty and unemployment in developing countries are all consequences of this trend, which coincided with rapid changes in the global economy. This reform has been called for by a number of international agencies and organizations, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. As one of the most important concerns of global decision-makers, led by the United Nations, the problem of sustainable human development and effective leadership has gained great attention. As a result, the idea of ​​sustainable human development has been linked to good leadership, good governance and effective leadership, and even aid and grants provided to developing countries are now linked to the extent to which these countries adhere to and respect democratic standards, good governance and effective leadership.

Abstract

This research seeks to address by analyzing the symmetrical imbalances between the economy and the status of the current account and what is implied by the significance of the relative importance of the current account in the balance of payments on the one hand within the framework of the internal / external overlap of developing economies in general and  Iraq , as a case study  to examine the extent of the reflection of the local economic structure on the characteristics of the current account

There are types of imbalances in the balance of payments related to the structural characteristics of the economy i, meaning that they represent a reflection of the imbalance in its production structures, and this imbalance, namely, in the current account takes a directional turn over a long time period related to the process of economic development and its success or failure in achieving the required structural changes

The research concluded that its hypothesis is correct as far as it is concerned with Iraq and that there is a symmetry between the internal/external structural imbalance that has deteriorated in the current account, especially the trade balance, and this imbalance has taken a hidden form as a surplus in the case of the rentier economy.  It concluded that economic administration has no choice but to restructure the Iraqi economy in favor of other production sectors, as well as financing and rehabilitating infrastructure projects, in addition to striving to attract foreign investment and working to expand production capacities and reduce dependence on oil as a main source of national income.

Abstract

 In many economic relations, there are correlations between variables that affect each other, including the reciprocal relationship between the budget deficit and exchange rate fluctuations, especially in developing countries, including Iraq, which suffer from problems in the general budget that may be chronic, and this deficit is caused by continuing In increasing public expenditures in exchange for a decrease in public revenues, especially that the Iraqi economy is almost completely dependent on the oil sector, And due to the fluctuation of oil prices and its impact on the volume of imports, which negatively affected the state’s general budget, the study included three main sections. The first topic represents the theoretical framework of the exchange rate and the public budget deficit, and the second topic is the relationship between the exchange rate and the general budget deficit in Iraq for the period (1990-2019). While the third topic dealt with the standard analysis of the relationship between the two variables mentioned above, the study concluded that there is a one-way causal relationship between the two variables of the model, where the exchange rate is due to a deficit in the public budget in the long term

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

Introduction:

The world is facing a number of challenges, including climate change. Climate change is caused by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, causing the planet to warm.

The Arab World and Climate Change:

The Arab world is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change. The region is already experiencing the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, and changes in agricultural yields.

The Impacts of Climate Change:

The impacts of climate change are already being felt around the world. They include:

• Rising sea levels: Sea levels are rising due to the melting of glaciers and ice sheets. This is causing coastal flooding and erosion, and is displacing people and communities.
• More extreme weather events: Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts. These events are causing damage to property and infrastructure, and are leading to loss of life.
• Changes in agricultural yields: Climate change is affecting agricultural yields, making it more difficult to produce food. This is leading to food insecurity and malnutrition.
• Loss of biodiversity: Climate change is causing the loss of biodiversity, as plants and animals are unable to adapt to changing conditions.

Solutions to Climate Change:

There are a number of things that can be done to address climate change. These include:

• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions: This can be done by switching to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and reducing deforestation.
• Adapting to the impacts of climate change: This can be done by building infrastructure that is more resilient to extreme weather events, and by developing new agricultural practices that are more resistant to climate change.
• Financing climate action: Developing countries need financial assistance to help them reduce their emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Conclusion:

Climate change is a serious threat to the Arab world and the world as a whole. It is important to take action to address this challenge, and to ensure that the region is prepared for the impacts of climate change.

Abstract

The general budget is described as the main driver for drawing up the economic policy in the country, and the optimal exploitation of the revenues obtained by the state is the best way to achieve economic balance. The achievement of economic balance for any country is closely linked to the type of resources that the government relies on to achieve economic growth, to achieve stability and prosperity for its people. Most of the Middle Eastern (developing) countries, including Iraq, depend on their economy on natural resources, which are known as (what nature provides of things that humans use in their economic activity to satisfy their needs, which were formed as a result of chemical reactions in which humans had no role in forming them, such as oil, gas and coal.

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
