This Paper examines how the exchange rate influences price stability in Iraq using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method. Monthly data covering the period from January 2004 to April 2022 are employed, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) used as the dependent variable and Exchange Rate (EX), Oil Prices (OILR), Money Supply (M2), Policy Interest Rates (IR), and Government Spending (GOSP) as independent variables. The ARDL bound test results confirm a long-run relationship between the exchange rate and price stability in Iraq; the results indicate that a more robust exchange rate is associated with higher price stability, emphasizing potential benefits from currency strength. The positive link between government spending and price stability suggests the stabilizing impact of fiscal policies. In contrast, the negative association between interest rates and price stability corresponds to expectations of reduced economic activity. Findings on money supply support the quantity theory of money, and the negative relationship between oil revenue and price stability highlights challenges associated with economic reliance on oil. The Paper offers valuable insights for policymakers, emphasizing the importance of exchange rate stability, economic diversification, and precise adjustments in monetary and fiscal policies to ensure sustained price stability in Iraq. Paper type: Research paper.
