Stakeholders in society, education, government, politic, culture research grapple with various standards. Without evidence-based problem solving, many conflicts are unsatisfactorily settled by applying the one-size-fits-all interpretation of principles or regulations or resorting to anecdote as evidence for one or another interpretation. Civil Officium creates collaboration among stakeholders, stimulates research, and disseminates knowledge to foster the intelligent application of social science principles in research contexts worldwide.

Abstract

Investment plays a crucial role in national economies worldwide, serving as a fundamental driver of economic development and influencing multiple economic variables. Nations across the globe find themselves in fierce competition to attract foreign and domestic investment through various tools and strategies designed to stimulate and maintain investment flows. Among these instruments, fiscal policy stands out as one of the most significant mechanisms for encouraging investment attraction. This policy holds considerable importance within the broader framework of economic policies due to its substantial capacity to achieve national economic objectives. The present study examines how fiscal policy influences investment promotion, with particular focus on the Kurdistan Region of Iraq as a case study. Using descriptive, historical, and analytical research approaches, this investigation explores the intricate relationship between fiscal policy instruments—particularly taxation and public expenditure policies—and their effectiveness in fostering investment. The findings reveal that fiscal policy significantly impacts investment decisions through various channels including tax incentives, infrastructure development spending, and supportive financial measures. However, the Kurdistan Region confronts numerous challenges that impede effective investment attraction, including its heavy reliance on oil revenues, ongoing financial difficulties, and ambiguous economic policy frameworks. The study concludes with comprehensive recommendations for implementing strategic fiscal reforms, establishing clear investment promotion strategies, and developing transparent economic governance structures to transform the region's economy from its current single-resource dependency toward a more diversified and sustainable economic model.
