A narrowly-based oil-driven economy tends to be highly vulnerable on the price cycle. Diversified export oriented non-oil commodity sector is a necessary condition for a long-term economic development as a catch-up process.to the most advanced countries
Development experience in Iraq shows that diversifying away from oil is very difficult due to a number of barriers related to Dutch disease, socio-political environment of economic policies and business activities, shortage of infrastructure, and limited technical and organizational capabilities.
The current economic management of GCC made good achievements in infrastructure and social services and helped raise standard of living, but has yielded few outcomes in diversification. The share of non-oil sector in GCC's GDP has increased but its output is highly correlated with oil revenue.
By using an empirical approach, this study analyses the relationship between diversification and a number of explanatory varibles including income and population. Also, Stylized facts presented by using UNCTAD data and World Bank WDI, in addition to the findings of relevant research works. Effects of fuel export on capital formation, government expenditure, and economic growth have been tested. Further research works are recommended, particularly to elaborate on industrialization and investment programs.

Constitutes Livestock's an important aspect in the agricultural sector, as no less important than vegetable side for being a main source, of food sources and a source for the provision of animal protein digestible to humans, where the percentage of protein in the meat of livestock and poultry is reach to 20%, while the percentage of protein in the fruit ( 0 0.7%) and vegetables (0.1%). The most animal products are raw mterials used in the industrial sector. Although the development of the poultry industry in the country, and increase the number of projects producing chicken meat, but they are not able to meet the domestic demand for poultry meat, and bridging the gap between domestic production and demand. That forced the state to allow the import of large quantities of this item the annual demand size of this item has been estimated (2015) up to 408 thousand tons per year. The size of the gap between expected domestic consumption and production has been estimated up to 300 thousand tons per year. The problems suffered by the meat chicken breading projects are an obstacle to development, especially after 2003, and stopped entirely state support, which led to rising prices of production inputs, as well as flooding the Iraqi with this Item. It was necessary to focus on studying the economics of broiler production in Iraq down to achieve the objective of the study. The study results came to find the optimal combination of capital (63 589) thousand dinars and work (757) hours of work, while the optimal production rate is (42.4 tons). While minimizing the costs of production, which is the rate (39.3 tonnes), and at this size, the best number of birds is (23.117) bird. The production volume which is maximize the profit (52.4 tons). The price, at which the producer is accepted to display his goods is (2.785) thousand dinars per kg, as well as cost flexibility, which was (0.9). it shows that production is subject to increasing returns ,i.e ,achieving an increase in production, relative at a lower cost. The recommendations of the research was certainly on the expansion of investment projects of chicken meat , increased government support and the granting of soft loans and protect local product from foreign competition, and increase awareness among educators in the use of modern means in broiler breeding.

The phenomenon of money laundering is an economic crime that has negative effects on economic, social and political activities in a country such as Iraq. Iraq is a new country in the issuance of anti-money laundering laws. After the spread of this phenomenon, the first law was issued in this regard,is Law No. 93 of 2004, then Law No. 39 of 2015 was issued to combat money laundering and terrorism financing. The aim of the research is to confirm the validity of this hypothesis by a practical study to some private banks and using a statistical program. To study of the most important banking procedures to combat this phenomenon and reduce it in order to achiere the Economic and social and political,stability The study has been put several recommendations and precautionary measures for banks in order to reduce this phenomenon and reduce the negative impact.

The problem of unemployment is one of the main problems, that impede the movement of economic development, as most countries of the world on the different levels of their Economic and social development and systems., face this obstacle, Iraq is one of those countries suffering from this problem, which was exacerbated by the extraordinary circumstances of the country's economy, , And this problem is exacerbated by its persistence and existence for a long time with its high rates. In 2003, the unemployment rate (%28.10) and it was in various forms and types in view of the continued weakness of the economic sectors' ability to absorb the increasing numbers of manpower, This research aims to shed light on the nature of this problem to analyze and identify the serious causes and effects of and clarify the most important economic variables that affect the rate of unemployment through the use of statistical methods and Econometrics, and then reach some conclusions and develop proposals that are appropriate to it , that We find them necessary to reduce unemployment in Iraq

The currency auction managed by the Central Bank of Iraq plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the Iraqi dinar exchange rate against the dollar, and it is an important tool to maintain low levels of inflation. However, the currency auction in the light of the dertermined exchange rate had an impact on the depletion of foreign reserves, increasing imports from abroad; the currency auction also raised the issue of money supply, due to excessive liquidity caused by the auction.
The currency auction represents a burden on foreign reserves, due to the increase in the according demand for reserves for the purpose of meeting multiple requirements, such as imports, tourism, study and treatment, in addition to the flight of capital. The study recommended the need to establish a joint public-private bank, in accordance with a mechanism to reduce the dissipation of foreign reserves
