The current study aims to develop a financial stability model in Iraq; after reviewing the relevant literature and sources related to financial stability and considering Iraq’s social, economic, political, and cultural conditions, a conceptual model and a research questionnaire have been developed. Based on the developed conceptual model, macro variables at the level of the economy, micro variables at the level of companies, the environmental variables of companies, and corporate governance have been selected as model dimensions. Each dimension has several components, including several indicators; 39 indicators were measured through questions in 2024. The research questionnaire was subjected to the opinion of 21 experts with sufficient experimental and academic records on this subject, and by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methods, the results were analyzed, and the final model was extracted. In this model, the scientific method used to analyze the results determines the weight of each dimension, component, and indicator. The results of this research show that the dimensions of corporate governance, the variables of the company environment, micro variables at the company level, and macro variables at the economic level with coefficients of 0.345, 0.251, 0.236, and 0.168, respectively, have the most significant impact on the ranking of the company’s financial stability. So far, research has yet to be conducted to present the financial stability model of Iraqi companies. Therefore, the present research is one of the first studies in this respect, which presents a model both qualitatively (by designing a questionnaire and conceptual model) and quantitatively (through a mathematical model) to measure financial stability that can help the development of science and knowledge in this field.
