Beschreibung:
Over the period 2000-2019, we reexamine the connection between finance, as measured by one of the primary banking sector functions-liquidity creation (LC)-and economic growth (EG) in 10 MENA countries panel. In a scenario seen as a dynamic heterogeneous panel, pooled mean group estimates demonstrate that LC and EG may have a favourable long-run connection while also having no influence in the short-run. In addition, results reveal an inverted U-shaped link between LC and EG over the short-term and long-term. This indicates that an excess of financial resources may be counterproductive to development in MENA nations.
