The economic situation is considered the fundamental pillar upon which a nation is built, and its reality is reflected in the standard of living of its citizens. This has convinced everyone that the economy is the primary engine of growth and development, highlighting the leading role of economics in all aspects of life.
Therefore, competition has emerged among national economies in development and progress, often reaching the point of striving for control and dominance in the international market. This has driven everyone to focus on production and increase its growth rates, thus achieving high competitiveness. However, this is governed by available capabilities and resources, which vary from one country to another. This has increased the role and importance of economics in utilizing available resources to achieve the highest level of production at the lowest cost, which in turn contributes to the pursuit of sustainable development.
Furthermore, the emergence of numerous economic phenomena at both the local and international levels, such as unemployment and inflation, has garnered significant attention from economists. These phenomena have been the subject of extensive analysis and study aimed at addressing and improving the economic situation.
All of this underscores the fundamental role of economics in building a nation on a solid foundation, enabling it to compete and participate effectively in the global economy, which is governed by the degree of competition, available resources, and human capital.
