Also, a joint integration test was conducted, using the (Bound Test) methodology.

Estimating the relationship in the short run according to the (ARDL) model.

Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model, And the statement of the causal relationship according to the Granger test.

The results of the tests maintaing, There is a positive effect between electronic transfers and liquidity, in a very small percentage, and by (0.00039), while the results showed a negative relationship, with a very small percentage (0.00016), between electronic instruments and liquidity, which is the opposite of the economic assumption.

The results also showed that there is no common integration between the electronic money variables represented by electronic checks and electronic transfers on the one hand and the liquidity variable on the other hand.
