Industrial activity is one of the pillars of the economic development of any country. It
includes a long and varied series of productive processes that provide a high rate of
economic growth. The importance of foreign trade in development is eviden
ced by
securing the requirements of raw materials, capital goods and the source of currencies,
Therefore, the success of any real development experience requires an effective industrial
sector that has a positive impact on the foreign trade sector and this is reflected in the
transition of the national economy towards achieving important steps in the field of
economic development. The study aimed to find a standard model based on the ECM
model to predict the volume of industrial imports by studying the relationship between
industrial investment and industrial imports. It concluded that this model could be a
scientific basis for the development of economic and social development plans.
