The reason for choosing the title of the research is the low economic reality in the city of Baghdad. The research problem lies in the poor standard of living and lack of job opportunities. The importance of the research stems from the fact that it will contribute to providing accurate data for the numbers of plans needed to advance economic reality. The research aims to improve the quality of life of citizens in the capital, Baghdad. The researchers used the case study approach in line with the nature of the research. The data were collected through the checklist attached to the ISO standard (Economy field). The field of the research was chosen to include institutions concerned with economic indicators. As for the research sample, it included the Ministry of Planning and the Ministry of Trade, (the urban observatory department in the Greater Amman Municipality). Research data was collected through official reports. The first part of the study focused on measuring the percentage of implementation of the standard with respect to the selected areas, and found that the compliance rates for those areas reached (100%), meaning that the gap in implementation and documentation is (0%). The second part of the study focused on evaluating and comparing each indicator for the city of Baghdad with its counterpart in the city of Amman, as the city of Amman surpassed the city of Baghdad in terms of evaluating the indicators of the selected services. The city of Baghdad got (5,601) points, while the city of Amman got (3,512) points in evaluating the selected fields.
