AB  - The study is an attempt to show the relationship between capital structure ratios and market
capitalization (market cap). The researcher’s study sample included 17 banking sectors, listed on the Iraq Stock
Exchange. The researchers relied on a number of quotations to measure study variables. To achieve study
objectives, they relied on the then current stock market statements published between 2006 and 2014 and the
Simple Linear Regression. After analyzing the data and the process of choosing hypotheses, the researchers
reached the following findings: there is no relationship between the independent variable of the structure of
capital and market value which is indeed a weak value, almost non-existent. Also, the study shows that, the
relationship between capital structure and profitability were negative and weak, stressing the weakness of the
Iraqi banking sector and lack of its dependence on precise strategies regarding the study variables and low
efficiency among departments of banks in terms of knowledge of the financial indexes. The banks should also
reduce the cost of capital used to finance projects to the lowest possible proportion in order to reach an
appropriate capita model.
