Abdul Salam said that "companies in the Arab and international financial markets resort from time to time to study their possibilities and investment plans and measure the value of their real shares to the value of market shares in the stock market, and in this light take decisions to buy back a percentage of its shares to achieve a number of objectives”.

He pointed out that “the objectives of companies to buy a proportion of their shares put on the stock market is to seek to enhance the earnings per share (dividend dividend distributed to shareholders), because of the absence of growth opportunities and investment in the company and the lack of opportunities to exploit the accumulated surplus, as well as when the company finds The market value of a stock is less than its real value.”

Regarding the need to approve the share buyback proposal and the reasons for this, Abdul Salam said: "From reading the data of joint stock companies and trading indicators during the period 2015-2019 shows the importance of the proposal that companies buy back a percentage of their shares, which can be summarized by the decline in the prices of shares traded for joint stock companies. At a mixed rate of more than 50 percent during the period, due to the absence of growth opportunities and investment, and the decline in earnings per share due to the rise of capital for a significant number of companies and the inability to make profits in other companies.

IMOO, there are a few reasons why a company would buy back their own stock or in this case, "encourage" this purchase: 1) Help consolidate Ownership, 2) If there is pessimism in the market, it helps to promote/increase equity value, and 3) It can make companies look healthy thus attracting more investors.

Companies also have stock buybacks when they expect the value of their company to rise-- allowing them to resell the stock later at a profit. Thus, IMO, this could be a signal to the entire country and the entire Iraqi financial system that the strength of the economy may be improving dramatically soon.
