Consequently, renewable sources of energy have emerged as inexhaustible and widely available sources on the planet, and the energy generated by them is clean energy. In the extraction of oil and natural gas from unconventional sources and in the light of their large proven and technically recoverable reserves, these sources have been exported with renewable sources in the international energy supply mix to take an active role in the structure of the energy balance.</p> Ahmed Jassim alyasiri Copyright (c) 2023 Akkad Journal Of Contemporary Economic Studies https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://journal.acefs.org/index.php/AJCES/article/view/97 Thu, 21 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000 The Impact Of Multiple Economic Shocks On The Financial Performance Of Islamic Banks In Iraq https://journal.acefs.org/index.php/AJCES/article/view/247 <p>The paper aims to explain the basic dimensions of the relationship between economic shocks in general and multiple economic shocks in particular in the financial performance of Islamic banks in the economic literature in light of the basic problems facing the work of Islamic banks.

In general, and the province of Baghdad in particular, all the geographical components necessary for the development of the Iraqi company for the manufacture and marketing of dates. This research mainly aimed to study the performance efficiency standards of the Iraqi company for the manufacture and marketing of dates, based on the data available in the company (final accounts for the years of budgets) for the study years from 2010 to 2021, in order to identify the extent of the profitability of that company and the possibility of expanding its production and marketing capacities through a study The structure of the company's current revenues and costs and its ability to cope with the changes that occurred in both revenues and costs. It was noted from the results of the study of the company’s performance efficiency standards that the company’s profitability indicators fluctuated during the study period. The company achieved losses in the years 2017 and 2018, which indicates that the company was unable to achieve a return on the total funds invested in these two years. As for the rest of the study years, only profits were achieved. There is nothing wrong with it, and this indicates the efficiency of the company's performance. The most important recommendation of the research is the need for the state to activate the local product protection law by stopping random imports, in addition to improving the quality of local products in order to gain consumer satisfaction.</p> Abdulwahab Mohammed Jawad Almusawi, Ghufran Hussein Ali AL-hadrawi Copyright (c) 2023 Akkad Journal Of Contemporary Economic Studies https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://journal.acefs.org/index.php/AJCES/article/view/241 Thu, 21 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000 The Developmental Role Of Iraqi National Oil Companies https://journal.acefs.org/index.php/AJCES/article/view/242 <p>The paper seeks to identify what climate change is, and what are its environmental and economic effects. And to demonstrate the importance&nbsp; of the role of climate action within&nbsp; the framework of the 2030 Development Agenda in building sustainable development by addressing and addressing climate&nbsp; change. Since the beginning of this century, the world has been facing the most complex problems and challenges. Climate change and the risks it leaves are among the most important challenges facing humanity and their planet because of the increase in extreme weather phenomena such as heat waves, droughts, floods, hurricanes and other phenomena. This requires working together immediately to address this crisis because of its effects. Negativity of global universality is not isolated from what this dangerous phenomenon produces. Aware of the need to guarantee the right of future generations, the governments of the countries of the world approved the sustainable development plan adopted by the United Nations in order to complete the task of eliminating the problems facing human beings and ensuring the continued vitality and activity of the planet and protecting those who will succeed them. The efforts made and the continuous work of the United Nations bodies culminated in the period between September 25, 2015. 2030 in the development of 17 goals, most of which represent the sustainable development agenda. The adoption of these goals represents a global call and a global project to action and coordination of efforts to eradicate hunger and poverty, achieve gender equality, ensure education for all, health and well-being, among other goals to be achieved during this period. Among these goals, which have captured the world's attention strongly in the past three decades, is Goal 13 (climate action), which is the most important global goal for sustainable development..</p> Ahmed Jassim Al-Yasiri, Thawra Bateef Jassim Copyright (c) 2023 Akkad Journal Of Contemporary Economic Studies https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://journal.acefs.org/index.php/AJCES/article/view/242 Thu, 21 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000
