The Department of Banking and Financial Sciences at the College of Administration and Economics at the University of Basra organized a panel discussion entitled (The Impact of Exchange Rate Changes on the Performance of the Iraq Stock Exchange Indexes, an Applied Study for the Period 2005-2021).
The panel discussion which was attended by Assist.

The panel discussion dealt with a statement on the phenomenon of instability of exchange rates, which is one of the problems that Iraq suffers from, as its exchange rates are volatile which negatively affects the performance of financial market indicators and leads to a decrease in confidence in them, which weakens dealing in securities.
The study recommended the need to move forward with the experience of formulating other models that include variables related to influencing market indicators and to know what those changes are and to reach the right decisions, in addition to achieving a sufficient degree of political, security and economic stability, which is one of the necessities of the crisis to encourage investments and attract and stimulate foreign capital to flow into Iraq.
