| dc.description.abstract | Finance nexus growth deep-rooted well in academic discourse. The relationship between both has been hotly debated since 1970 and no consensus is reached. The relationship between financial liberalization policies and economic growth is controversial. Effect of financial liberalization differs among countries. This paper attempts to examine the effect of financial liberalization on economic growth of four selected IGAD countries (Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda) selection of these four countries out of seven countries in the region is based on availability of the data. The study used quantitative research design. In order to achieve the objective of the study, panel data were used for the period of 2007-2016. Data were analyzed on quantitative basis using descriptive and regression analysis (Ordinary Least Square) method. Fixed effect model was employed in the regression. The obtained result from fixed regression reveled that exchange rate and degree of openness were statistically significant and have positive relationship with economic growth. On the contrary, variables like lending rate and financial deepening were statistically significant and have negative relationship with economic growth. Inflation has positive relationship with economic growth nevertheless it is statistically insignificant. From the result, trade openness would no doubt enhance economic growth and the government in the region has to intensify efforts that provide better financial system. | en_US |
