The Relationship Between Financial Development Index and Economic Factors in Türkiye: The Role of Inflation, Corruption, and GDP Growth
Abstract
Ensuring sustainable economic growth is essential for the development and stability of the financial system. A well-functioning, advanced financial system is a key indicator of the quality of financial institutions and plays a critical role in attracting foreign investment. Conversely, corruption adversely affects a country's welfare, development, and social cohesion. Since economic growth reflects the overall welfare level of a society, understanding the relationship between corruption and economic growth is crucial for fostering financial development. This study examines the interrelationship between financial development, economic growth, and corruption in the context of Türkiye, utilizing annual data from 1998 to 2021. The analysis employs the Financial Development Index, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and Corruption Perception Index (CPI) as primary variables. The findings reveal a long-term co-integration relationship among these variables, indicating that financial development in Türkiye is significantly shaped by both economic growth and corruption levels.
