Abstract

The main concern of this paper is to explore the potential effect of trade openness on different financial development indicators, especially in the banking sector. Using Jordanian data, the study has found evidence of significant positive effects of trade openness on the growth of various financial development indicators, especially credit to private, total liabilities ratio, total deposits ratio and financial depth over the period 1964 to 2014. The empirical results indicate that there is a long-run relationship between trade openness indicator and each financial development indicator except total deposits ratio. These results are obtained using a cointegration analysis, the E-G procedure within the ECM framework. The E-G results show trade liberalisation has a significant effect on the growth of credit to private sector indicator, financial assets ratio and financial depth.
