The research aims to assess the policy of trade openness and its impact on addressing the problem of poverty for the period (1997-2017) using the error correction model, in order to map the future economic policies. It is concluded that there is no vital impact of trade openness in reducing the problem of poverty in Iraq. The research suggested that a comprehensive strategy should be adopted to stimulate productive economic sectors to benefit from the advantages of trade openness and to address poverty.
