Evidence suggests that there is a positive relationship between finance and economic growth and that there is a bi-directional causal relationship between finance and economic growth. To the extent that financial development and economic growth Granger-cause each other, we assert  that policies directed at any of the two , if efficiently and vigorously pursued, could be beneficial to the study countries. }, DOI = {} }
