Abstract

Relationship between financial development and economic growth is a long-debated issue. The objective of this study is to determine if a relationship exists between financial development and economic growth. Better functioning financial systems ease the external financing constraints that impede firm and industrial expansion. On the other hand, changes in economic activity and economic growth can influence financial systems. With the help of Principal Component Analysis, we develop two indices-one for ‘financial development’ and the other for ‘economic development’. Through a set regression equations, we find that the elasticity of ‘financial development’ with respect to ‘economic development is 0.37 and elasticity of ‘economic development’ with respect to ‘financial development’ is 1.69. The gains from financial development are much greater.
