Abstract
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it seeks to establish a consistent theoretical framework for the relationship between Islamic
finance and economic growth. Second, it attempts to assess empirically the effect that Islamic banking loans had on the economic growth of 13
countries in the MENA region during the 2000e2014 period. We found strong evidence to suggest that financial system development stimulated
economic growth in the selected MENA countries over the studied period. Furthermore, we found that while Islamic financial development can
boost economic growth, this positive effect is hindered by underdeveloped institutional frameworks. In addition, net-oil-exporting MENA
countries do not appear to benefit from large oil-fueled deposits that are likely to increase the scale of loans. The findings suggest that governments
should consider implementing proactive and favorable economic and institutional policies that are geared toward Islamic finance.
