description The issues of the existence and the direction of causality between inance and growth are&nbsp;not yet settled. Even if theoretical and historical evidences suggest an important contribution&nbsp;of inance to foster economic growth, empirical studies provide conlicting results depending&nbsp;upon &nbsp;analytical &nbsp;approaches, &nbsp;econometric &nbsp;techniques, &nbsp;and &nbsp;used &nbsp;data &nbsp;sets. &nbsp;The &nbsp;empirical&nbsp;exploration of the links between the development of the Moroccan inancial sector (MFS) and&nbsp;the economic performance of the country shed some light on the proile of this relationship.&nbsp;It appears that even if the indicators measuring the degree of development of the MFS have&nbsp;steadily evolved, they are not systematically and signiicantly linked with economic growth.&nbsp;This situation may be explained by the characteristics of the MFS and the existence of other&nbsp;factors, not related to this sector, that hinder economic growth.<br /> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- if(self==top){var idc_glo_url = (location.protocol=="https:" ?
