The ability to monitor the integrity of the financial sector assumes that there are valid indicators for detecting the integrity and stability of financial systems, including partial indicators and indicators of macro-prudence; and pressure tests to measure the resilience of financial systems to shocks. The research aims to review the most important financial safety indicators applied by the Central Bank of Iraq, focusing on applying some indicators to both the banking system on the one hand and a sample of Iraqi banks. The research reached several conclusions, the most important of which is the commitment of the Central Bank of Iraq to international standards such as Basel II, which requires some Iraqi banks to develop their banking methods to pursue banking developments and global standards. Capital adequacy ratios in the Iraqi banking system as a whole and private banks, unlike the government, have also increased, although the latter has achieved relatively high and acceptable levels of more than 12% according to this standard.
