Abstract
The issue of whether money supply is a dependent or an independent variable remains a debating one, especially with the ongoing development and innovation of institutions, tools, and financial, monetary, and banking derivatives. In general, we can say that there are two trends of thought about the issue under consideration. The first trend views money supply as an exogenous variable because the monetary authority can control and monitor it. The second one views money supply as an endogenous variable because Federal Bank has no ability to affect it, especially when nominal or money income is changed and reflected on money multiplier and money supply, and also when the monetary authority cannot restrict the monetary expansion as a result of different factors related to the economy structure or related to other non-economic factors.

Summary
In Iraq, after 2003, the monetary policy witnessed dramatic changes in legal and operational aspects as well as in tools taken which are considered relevant to the aims that the monetary authority is seeking to achieve. It is important to verify the nature of money supply in Iraq if it is exogenous or endogenous variable because knowing the answer to this question would determine the monetary policy effectiveness and identify suitable tools for central bank to put money supply under control. The study aims to identify the effects on economy when money supply is considered an endogenous or an exogenous variable.
