The Effect Of inflation In The Shares Profitability Of The Iraq Stock Exchange Sectors For The Period (2004 – 2018)

Abstract

The research aims to measure and analyze the impact of inflation on the profitability of the shares of the Iraqi stock market sectors for the period (2004-2018) using the NARDL model, as well as knowing the extent of the impact of an inflation shock on the rates of profitability of the Iraqi stock market sectors for the period (2004-2018). The research concluded that there is an inverse, non-linear, long-term equilibrium relationship between inflation and the profitability of the shares of the Iraqi stock market sectors, in addition to the fact that the investment sector in the Iraqi stock market is one of the sectors most affected (resilient) by fluctuations in the inflation rate in Iraq, as the inflation rate changes by certain profits will be affected by more than ninety percent of this change.
