Abstract:
The research is an attempt to analyze the impact of import fluctuations on economic stability indicators using a quantitative methodology based on econometric models to determine the impact of import fluctuations on economic stability indicators, with a focus on the research period. Data related to imports, inflation, and gross domestic product were used. The results showed a strong direct relationship between import fluctuations and the inflation rate. It also showed that sudden fluctuations in imports negatively affect the balance of payments and weaken the stability of the exchange rate. In contrast, economic diversification and local investment policies play an important role in mitigating these negative effects. The research recommends the necessity of adopting effective policies on the import of goods and services, which contribute to enhancing local production to reduce dependence on foreign countries, and contribute positively to achieving the country's economic stability in the long term.
