Abstract:

This research aims to investigate and analyze the most pressing issues facing the Iraqi economy, namely economic stability and inclusive growth Consequently, the present study investigates the effect of inflation and unemployment, which are significant contributors to economic instability, on inclusive growth dimensions such as GDP, education, health, governance, poverty, income inequality, and environmental performance. From 1991 to 2021, secondary data were collected using World Bank Indicators (WDI) and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) databases. The researchers also employed the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model to determine the relationship between variables. The study revealed that fluctuations in inflation and unemployment rates have had a negative impact on inclusive growth in the Iraqi economy. Therefore, it is necessary to take all measures to achieve economic stability to meet the most crucial conditions for fostering inclusive growth in Iraq.
