Prof. Dr. Ali Fadl Baaiwi, a lecturer in Biomedical Engineering Department , received acceptance to publish his research titled:

"The role of commercial and Islamic banks in promoting comprehensive investment in light of banking performance"

The research addressed the importance of evaluating the performance of both Islamic and conventional banks and highlighting the extent of their differences and their roles in correcting structural imbalances in economic sectors by encouraging financial investment. While both Islamic and conventional banks perform financial banking functions and activities, they differ in their nature and foundations of work. The research hypothesis suggests that Islamic and traditional banks have a role in promoting financial investment in light of the structural imbalances in the economic sectors in Iraq. The research aims to shed light on the most important indicators used in measuring and evaluating the financial performance of Islamic and conventional banks.Islamic banks are financial institutions that do not deal in interest (usury) and instead receive deposits from individuals and companies without charging interest. They invest this money directly or provide it to investors on a profit and loss sharing basis, rather than on an interest-based lending basis. One of the most important conclusions reached by the research is that commercial banks are considered one of the most important financial institutions that contribute to the management of economic and social life. Islamic banks have emerged as a type of these banks that play a clear and real role in an economic function in accordance with Islamic law.
