Abstract

This study's objective is to investigate how financial liberalization affected Algeria's economic growth from 1990 to 2020 using ARDL model. The study discovered that although trade openness, foreign direct investment, money supply, and credit to the private sector all have a positive relationship with economic growth, the effect is only temporary. In contrast, inflation has an inverse relationship with economic growth. The KAOPEN rate also has a non-significant relationship with economic growth because of its stable value over the study period. In the short run, the economy is significantly impacted by the money supply and trade openness.
