“…The 2009 was a particularly difficult year because of the severe subprime crisis impact. However, the Tunisian economy tried to resist through a continuous reformist momentum and timely targeted measures and, mainly, thanks to a highly satisfactory agricultural season (Zayani & Helali, 2017).…”

This paper examines the nature of the relationship between financial development and economic growth between 1965 and 2019, using the non-linear logistic smooth transition regression model and considering inflation as a threshold financial development. The results show the existence of a non-linear abrupt relationship with an inflation threshold equal to 3.63%. Specifically, when inflation is below 3.63 percent, all variables, including inflation, have a significant and positive impact on economic growth. However, when inflation exceeds the estimated threshold, inflation has a significant and negative impact with an elasticity equal to -0.365. Therefore, it is necessary to apply such measures to reduce the inflation pressures and promote economic growth through development finance by the banking sector. JEL Classification: C24; E31; E44; O11.

“…These authors (Bahmani-Oskooee and Harvey, 2015) highlight the sensitivity to the type of change on trade flows in the industry sector because of the effects in the short and long term of the real depreciation of the dollar on payments not paid of 141 US industries that export to Singapore and 59 US industries that import from Singapore. In this regard, various studies significantly contribute to the analysis of global export dynamics, as developed in the country of Tunisia, in which the competitiveness of Tunisian exports compared with its main competitors through a swap shifts analysis approach was evaluated during the period 1990-2012, showing the importance of the analysis of export performance and the economic contribution that these results mean for development, competitiveness and economic growth of countries (Zayani and Helali, 2017).…”

In this investigation, the efficiency of midsize companies in the free-trade-zones of Barranquilla was analyzed. For this, a model supported by Data Envelopment Analysis structure (DEA) was proposed which required a rational analysis to define input and output variables in order to measure and test the efficiency of 63 companies under study in 2016 and 2017. The Chamber of Commerce of Barranquilla with which an empirical analysis was performed to measure the efficiency of the sector provided primary information. The research showed that from 2016-2017 the percentage of efficient enterprises improved from 11.11% to 17.46% while 6.34% of companies maintain their efficiency, 42.85% showed improvements and 50. 79% of companies decreased their efficiency.

Since its independence, Tunisia has embarked on monetary and financial sector reforms aimed at boosting economic growth. However, these reforms have not been effective due to inflation pressures in this country. Thus, this paper examines the nature of the relationship between financial development and economic growth between 1965 and 2019, using the non-linear logistic smooth transition regression model and considering inflation as a threshold financial development. The results show the existence of a non-linear abrupt relationship with an inflation threshold equal to 3.63%. Specifically, when inflation is below 3.63%, all variables, including inflation, have a significant and positive impact on economic growth. However, when inflation exceeds the estimated threshold, inflation has a significant and negative impact with an elasticity equal to − 0.365. To effectively manage inflation, the Tunisian authorities are encouraged to set and embrace specific inflation targets as a goal. This approach aims to mitigate inflationary pressures and foster a favourable environment for financial development in Tunisia, thereby promoting economic growth. Hence, it becomes imperative to implement such measures that alleviate inflationary pressures and drive economic growth through the facilitation of development finance by the banking sector.
