The rate of economic growth in addition to the inflation rate variable, namely: the foreign exchange rate, the deficit in the state’s general budget, government support and loan values, and a standard model was applied in several formats based on time series data, the method of regular and weighted least squares, and the E-Veiws10 program, and a number of conclusions were reached. The most important of them was that the structural imbalance in the economies of the countries of the research sample is one of the most important reasons that led to the emergence of the problem of inflation and its repercussions on their economic growth
