Abstract

First: The research problem (converting numbers in English)
Despite the increase in public debt rates (internal and external) for the period 2010-2022, it did not lead to clear increases in economic growth resulting from the deepening of structural imbalances in the Iraqi economy, which prevented the transfer of the impact from the financial side to the real side of the national economy.
Second: The Importance of Research
The importance of the research lies in giving a clear picture of the nature and trends of public debt and the factors determining it and its impact on the direction of economic growth in the Iraqi economy and trying to find specific solutions to sustain economic growth through public debt and other variables. 
Third: Research Objectives
1 Analysis of the relationship between public debt and economic growth in the Iraqi economy and analysis of the evolution of the structure of public debt in the Iraqi economy for the period (2010-2021). 
2. Creating a scientific and logical explanation to measure the impact of public debt on economic growth in Iraq.
3. Studying the long-term and short-term relationships between public debt and the growth of the Iraqi economy.
Fourth: Research Hypothesis
Increasing the size of public debt leads to an increase in the rates of economic growth in the Iraqi economy, considering that an increase in the rates of public debt leads to an increase in financing growth and development and thus achieving economic and social welfare.
Fifth: Research Methodology
This research based on the nature of its variables relied on the inductive method and the deductive method by relying on data and information from the General Tax Authority and the Ministry of Finance, and the laws and instructions related to the practical aspect. In addition to using the method of economic measurement.
