Abstract
This study addressed the basics of both trade cooperation and economic growth, in addition to clarifying the relationship between exports and imports between Iraq and Iran for the period (2008-2023) on the one hand and economic growth in Iraq on the other hand, through analyzing the reality of the study variables economically. A descriptive approach was used to analyze the data of the selected macroeconomic variables. The study proved that trade cooperation between Iraq and Iran was not equal, as Iraq imports ten times what it exports to it. It also proved that the structure of the Iraqi GDP is one-sided, distorted, and unbalanced due to its almost complete dependence on revenues from the sale of crude oil. The study came out with a set of recommendations, the most important of which is that Iraq must take corrective steps to address the inequality of its trade with Iran, such as imposing taxes on Iraqi imports from Iran, supporting industry and agriculture, controlling border crossings, activating the customs tariff law, diversifying the structure of Iraqi exports and reducing dependence on imports of crude oil sales, working to increase exports of manufactured materials and reduce exports of raw materials, in addition to reducing imports of food and consumer goods and growing imports of investment goods.
