The recent upward inflation trends around the globe have raised concerns about the economic implications of such inflationary waves. In this regard, the study examines the impact of inflation rates on the long-run economic growth in Arab countries. In addition, the study uses the pooled mean group as an estimation method. Data covers 21 Arab countries for the period from 1990 to 2020 is used. The findings present evidence that inflation rates below certain threshold levels positively affect the long-run economic growth.

This paper investigates the impact of net capital inflows on credit to the private sector as a share of gross domestic product. It tries to assess to what extent net capital inflows could lead to excessive credit growth and, hence, undermine financial stability. The pooled mean group for the cointegration method is employed in this paper. The results show that net capital inflows may have a negative long run impact on financial stability in the Arab countries through increasing credit growth. With different types of capital inflows, the implications on financial stability differ.
