This study has been carried out to observe the impact of financial development and trade openness on GDP growth in Bangladesh by using annual data over the period 1976-2015. The analysis is based on the bound testing approach of co-integration advanced by Pesaran et al (2001). The empirical results confirmed the validity of trade led growth and financial led growth hypothesis in Bangladesh. A co-integrated relationship between economic growth, trade openness and financial development was noticed in both the long-run and short-runs. The analysis also showed the relationship between trade openness and financial development through Granger causality test for causal relationships in the period of study. 2017-12-01T00:00:00Z
