Abstract

Study Aim: This research aims to analyze the relationship between bank financing and GDP in Iraq from 2015 to 2021 using the sectoral flexibilities approach. Three variables were selected, including GDP, monetary bank credit, and the Central Bank of Iraq's initiative. The study measured the flexibility of economic sectors towards various forms of credit.
Method: This study used the sectoral flexibilities approach to examine the correlation between banking finance and GDP in Iraq. It measured the flexibility of oil and non-oil GDP towards various types of credit to assess the impact of monetary credit on Iraq's GDP. Data was collected from the Central Bank of Iraq and other relevant sources, and statistical tools such as regression analysis were employed for the analysis.
Main Findings: The study found that there is a clear response to monetary credit on the gross domestic product in Iraq. The flexibility of non-oil GDP towards total cash credit, government and private credit, pledge credit, cash credit granted by the sector, and the initiatives of the Central Bank of Iraq was found to be higher compared to the flexibility of oil GDP. The findings suggest that the private sector needs to be given more leeway to increase the effectiveness of its economic activity, which in turn will improve the relationship between bank financing and the domestic product. Main Recommendations: Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that the government of Iraq provide more opportunities for the private sector to increase their participation in the economy.
