Abstract
The research aims to highlight the role of Islamic banks in investment projects and their relationship to social and economic development. Islamic banks, which carry out their work and activities in accordance with Islamic law and have an effective role in the investment process, face many problems. Islamic banks face many problems, including the unsuitability of the environment, the lack of researchers and scholars interested in it, and the lack of a culture in them. just as the Central Bank deals equally with all Islamic banks and needs support and assistance, the alternative hypothesis confirms the existence of a correlation between the importance of Islamic banks and investment. The research also used a number of statistical methods, arithmetic means and standard deviation, and the research used the SPSS program for the purpose of demonstrating the impact of Islamic banks on investment. The researcher created the regression model used and the t-test values and their significance. The study reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which is that there is a positive, morally significant relationship between the importance of Islamic banks and investment, and that any increase or decrease in the importance of Islamic banks leads to an increase or decrease in investment. We reached a number of recommendations on the necessity of raising the capabilities and capacities of banking tools in Iraqi Islamic banks at all administrative and operational levels to advance the reality of financial and banking services.
