The study aimed to assess the impact of financial development on economic growth in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council: (United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia) during the period 1990-2017, using the panel data approach, by applying three models: The pooled regression model, the Fixed Effects Model (FEM), and the Random Effects Model (REM).

For preference between the previous models two tests were used: Lagrange Multiplier (LM) test to choose between the combined regression model and the fixed effects model, and a test (1987) Haussman to choose between a fixed effects model and a random effects model.

In light of the previous results, the study recommends the following: Create a structural environment that makes financial development possible, including less government interference in allocating credit and institutional quality
