| The research dealt with exports and imports and their role in the components of the national economy, as it was found that oil contributes about 93.3% of the state’s public revenues, which are used in spending on various development processes. It was found that public revenues contribute to increasing the domestic product at an annual statistically significant rate, and that the expenditures are realized. Of foreign trade, about 17.18% of it is spent on production requirements, 53.6% on the imports necessary to satisfy the needs of the population and for the various sectors during the study period, and that exports lead to an increase in the domestic product at a statistically significant annual rate, and as oil exports also contribute to an increase in the domestic product, it recommends Study by increasing the role of exports due to their importance in development. Research problem: The research problem is that due to the dependence of foreign trade on oil, fluctuations occur in the domestic product, and it explains the imbalance in imports, as about 17% of them are commodity requirements for production, and about 54% are non-commodity imports, and spending on imports represents about 70.78% of the volume State spending, therefore, reducing dependence on abroad by developing the industrial and agricultural sectors reduces imports and saves the state's public spending on imports, and what was saved is directed to development and production processes.
