The impact of some fiscal policy indicators on growth in the Iraqi agricultural economy

The Iraqi economy was characterized by the dominance of the extractive sector and its large contribution to the gross domestic product. The economic policies adopted during the last decades did not achieve the required economic growth. The research aimed to address public spending as one of the tools of financial policy with some other indicators and its role in the contribution of the agricultural sector to the formation of the agricultural gross domestic product. The study concluded that the growth rate of the agricultural gross domestic product fluctuated as a result of the political and economic fluctuations that the country went through, especially wars and sieges. The study recommended increasing the percentage of investment expenditures allocated to the agricultural sector over public expenditures, which is consistent with the importance of the agricultural sector in the Iraqi economic environment.
