Abstract
The research presented a comparative study in time series analysis and forecasting using VAR models, which depend on the existence of a significant relationship between the studied variables, and ARIMAX models, which depend on the linear effect of the independent variables (model input) on the dependent variable (model output). The models were analyzed using time series data for the Iraqi general budget for the period (2004-2020), which represents foreign reserves and government spending. Time series of government expenditure was forecast for the years (2021-2024) and a comparison was made between the efficiency of the models estimated through the mean square error (MSE) criterion. The analysis was carried out using the MATLAB program, and the results of the analysis concluded that the VAR model was more efficient than the ARIMAX model for this data and the increase in foreign reserves and government spending for the Iraqi will continue during the coming period (2021-2024).

Highlights
  1. The VAR model is better than the ARIMAX model for this data depending on the MSE criterion.
  2. There is a simple linear correlation (and correlation) between foreign reserves and government spending to 91.4%, which is positive and significant.
  3. The forecast for the period (2021-2024) shows an increase in government spending.
  4. There is a general trend in the time series of foreign reserves and government spending indicating a significant increase in the sustainable deficit of the general budget in Iraq.
