  The financial structure is always considered as a major factor responsible for economic growth in a country. Based on various economic theories, there would be a positive relationship between the financial system and economic growth rate. In fact, a country with a better financial system can generate a larger Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which stands for a positive economic growth. However, it should be noted here that in the real world, there is not homogeneity in financial mechanism and economic growth, hence, we cannot completely set theory in the reality. According to this brief state of the problem, the main purpose of this research is exploring the financial structure (i.e. Financial development and financial architecture ) – economic growth nexus through the Panel Cointegraiton approach, FMOLS and Panel LS estimations over 19802011 for eight countries in the MENA region. The empirical findings report clear support for the long run relationship between financial development and economic growth, while do not provide any statistically significant relationship between financial architecture and economic growth.

  ICT plays an important role in accelerating economic growth, especially in today's age of the Internet and mobile telecommunications. Due to the upward trend in the use of information and communication technology in the countries of the world, this part of the economy demands a lot of attention. Improved policies due to the impact of information and communication technology on the economy are one of the top programs of governments in developed and developing countries.A review of the literature shows that few systematic studies have examined the role of information and communication technology in GDP growth and the impact of various variables on the role of information and communication technology has not been sufficiently studied.The present study uses systematic approach and system dynamics methodology and examine interactions of ICT variables including ICT access, ICT development, ICT usage etc. with macroeconomic variables such as GDP, total factor productivity, ICT Capital examines ICT's value-added share of GDP and so on and presents a conceptual model of the role of ICT in GDP growth. The qualitative model designed in this study can be the basis for future quantitative research and mathematical simulation with a systematic approach to information and communication technology and GDP.
