چکیده
Investigating the two-way relationship between economic growth and financial development is an important issue that can lead to a better understanding of economic dynamics. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between financial development and economic growth for the Middle East countries between 2010 and 2023. This research has been carried out using the system of simultaneous equations method with the seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) approach. According to the research results, financial development does not have a significant effect on economic growth, but growth has a positive and significant effect on financial development. It can be concluded that financial development, as a key element in achieving sustainable economic growth, cannot be unilaterally influential. Although strong and efficient financial infrastructure is necessary to facilitate investment and financing, financial development alone cannot lead to economic growth. On the other hand, economic growth as a strong driving force has a positive and significant effect on financial development. When the level of production and consumption in a country increases, the demand for financial services also increases. This allows financial institutions to offer more variety in their products and services, leading to improved efficiency and financial leverage. Therefore, economic growth not only helps increase investment and innovation, but also strengthens financial structures and facilitates access to financial resources for all economic stakeholders.
