Abstract:

The financial systems structure combines bank-based and market-based intermediation. But the mix of financial structure between the two intermediation channels varies across countries. This paper examines how the financial system structure, whether banking or market-oriented, affects economic growth in Saudi Arabia, using an ARDL testing approach. The empirical results of this study show that while market-based financial development has a positive impact on economic growth in Saudi Arabia, bank-based financial development has an unclear impact and statistically unacceptable, which requires studying the role of banks in Saudi economic growth more deeply. That is, the results of the study support market-based financial development perspectives. Therefore, the study recommends the necessity of moving forward with policies to develop the structure of the financial sector structure in Saudi Arabia in a way that enhances real economic growth.


Keywords:
