The effect of public revenues and domestic debt on bank profitability: A sample of Iraqi government banks A study for the period (2004-2017)
Abstract This research sought to analyze and estimate the effect of internal debt and public revenues on the profitability of a sample of government banks in Iraq during the research period extending from 2004-2017. The research aims to achieve its goals by testing its hypotheses which are: (The presence of these variables on the profitability of government banks, the research sample) and this effect is through public revenues and internal debt as independent variables. This relationship and influence was expressed through economic and standard analysis to clarify the level and amount of influence of independent variables on dependent variables through the use of modern methods of econometrics, including (time series, stability test (Dickie Fuller), building a var model). The research found that the profitability of the Rafidain Bank is not identical to the internal debt, as the relationship has shown a direct correlation between them. As for the revenue, it came identical to the logic of economic theory in its relationship with the profit of the Rafidain Bank, while the internal debt and revenue matched with the logic of economic theory in their relationship with the profitability of the Iraqi Bank. After all the statistical tests have been taken, there is no correlation with some financial variables and profitability indicators according to the economic analysis, whether direct or reverse, and other conclusions. Keywords: Rafidain Bank, public revenues, public revenues, Iraqi Bank.
