This research aims to determine the level of impact of banking competition through a set of indicators, namely the increasing number of bank branches in the areas adjacent to companies, the size of assets, financial leverage, and the ratio of market value to book value, which leads to an increase in employment in companies, especially for listed joint-stock companies. In the Iraqi stock securities market, relying on panel data, 10 banks and companies for 18 years were analyzed through Eviews and EXCEL software.
