This research aims to test and analyze the causal relationship between public spending and the two independent variables (GDP, inflation rate) during the study period (1980-2021) This is based on the quantitative standard analysis method, represented by the Extended Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test. Since all variables were stationary in the first difference, therefore, the autoregressive model (ARDL) was used to determine the causal relationship between the variables.And testing the extent of co-integration between variables, as the research concluded that there is a long-term relationship between gross domestic product and public spending during the study period.Whenever the GDP increases by one million dinars, this leads to an increase in public spending by 0.495297 million dinars.The inflation rate does not affect the changes in public spending during the study period in the short or long term. Keywords: general agreement, economic changes, gross domestic product, inflation rate.
