Abstract

This study examines the effects of inflation (X1), global crude oil prices (X2), and the rupiah exchange rate (X3) on sectoral stock index returns (Y) in the energy sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from Bank Indonesia, the Indonesia Stock Exchange, and Investing.com over a five-year period. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using SPSS to evaluate both partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on stock index returns. The results show that inflation has a negative but statistically insignificant effect on sectoral stock index returns, while global crude oil prices exhibit a positive yet insignificant influence. In contrast, the rupiah exchange rate has a positive and statistically significant effect on sectoral stock index returns. These findings indicate that exchange rate movements play a dominant role in explaining return variability in the energy sector. Therefore, investors and policymakers should pay close attention to exchange rate stability when making investment and economic policy decisions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the General Allocation Fund (DAU), the Special Allocation Fund (DAK), and the Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH) on the Human Development Index (HDI) in Surabaya City during the period 2010–2024. A quantitative approach was employed using a multiple linear regression method based on secondary time-series data obtained from official government institutions. The results indicate that DAU, DAK, and DBH simultaneously have a significant effect on the Human Development Index. Partially, the Special Allocation Fund exhibits the strongest and most significant influence, reflecting its targeted allocation toward basic public service sectors, particularly education and health. The General Allocation Fund also has a positive and significant effect by strengthening overall regional fiscal capacity to support public service provision. In contrast, the Revenue Sharing Fund shows a positive but statistically insignificant effect on the Human Development Index. These findings suggest that improving human development outcomes in Surabaya City requires more targeted, effective, and equitable management of intergovernmental transfer funds, with a stronger emphasis on enhancing the quality of basic public services.

Abstract

This research aims to study the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in accurately understanding and answering investors' questions written in Arabic, thereby supporting investment decision-making and improving communication between investors and digital financial systems. This article explores the potential of AI in providing financial guidance. The study's significance lies in the increasing importance of AI technologies in financial markets, particularly given the rapid growth of digital financial services and investors' growing reliance on electronic platforms for financial information. Twenty questions from the Basic Financial Literacy Questionnaire and the Big Five factors were used to evaluate the ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4 models. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach to examine the role of AI technologies in understanding investment issues, in addition to employing a range of statistical methods to analyze data and test relationships between study variables. Furthermore, combining financial literacy and AI, while considering ethical awareness, leads to the optimal use of AI-assisted financial advice. This strategy contributes to mitigating the risks of over-reliance on AI, fostering informed trust in AI systems, and enabling better financial decision-making. The study results showed that using artificial intelligence technologies, particularly natural language processing models, significantly improves the understanding of investment questions in Arabic and increases the accuracy of the answers provided to investors. It also reduces the time required to obtain financial information. Furthermore, the results indicated that adopting intelligent systems in investment platforms can enhance investor confidence, increase transparency, and facilitate more efficient investment decisions. Based on these findings, the study recommends developing specialized AI applications in the financial sector in Arabic and expanding their use in financial institutions and investment platforms.

Abstract

The current research aims to analyze the impact of oil revenues on the Iraqi budget deficit during the period 2005–2025. This is achieved by examining the relationship between fluctuations in oil prices and oil revenues, on the one hand, and the level of the budget deficit, on the other. The research also seeks to identify the implications of this relationship on public opinion regarding the management of public financial resources in Iraq. The Iraqi economy is a rentier economy, and its public revenues are heavily dependent on oil. The hypotheses section outlines the analytical methodology described above. Subsequent hypothesis testing relies on annual time series data for the two variables. Standard and statistical methods, such as normative tests, are used to determine the characteristics of the relationship between them, thus establishing the relationship between the two variables. The research findings indicate a strong inverse relationship between oil revenues and the Iraqi budget deficit. Furthermore, higher oil revenues lead to a lower budget deficit, and vice versa. Given the Iraqi budget's heavy reliance on oil, fluctuations in oil prices and production negatively impact the budget. Consequently, when oil prices decline or production decreases, the budget deficit increases. Furthermore, statistical analysis shows that oil revenues contributed significantly to the budget deficit variance during that period. The research indicates the need to diversify public revenue sources, support a stronger role for non-oil sectors, rationalize public spending, and establish medium-term fiscal frameworks to mitigate budget deficit volatility and enhance fiscal sustainability. The research also recommends creating financial stabilization funds to mitigate the impact of oil price shocks on the budget.
