Abstract
Analysing bank performance through financial statements involves financial analysis, a basic technique in this regard. A clearer picture surrounding the operational and investment goals of a bank can be derived through the reasoned and systematic application of financial ratios. Here, the relationship between the measures of financial analysis and performance is the main focus. As part of a practical analysis, the research will be addressing the financial statements of Iraqi banks using the Iraq Stock Exchange data in the following sections.
