This study analyzes and interprets the causal relationship between the development of banks, financial crisis and economic growth. With the 2001 crisis in Turkey, this study examines the short and long run relationship between banks and economic growth in a crisis environment using the data provided by the Turkish government between 2001 and 2023. Panel Granger causality test is used to verify the causality between banks and growth in different periods. The study reveals that banks play an important role in the long-run economic growth process and that there is a bidirectional causality between banks and growth in Turkey. In the short run, the financial crisis corrected the short-run relationship between banks and growth. The relationship between banks and growth changed from unidirectional causality before the crisis to bidirectional causality after the crisis, as a result of which it was determined that economic growth did not stimulate bank lending and bank development did not stimulate growth before the crisis. After the crisis, on the other hand, banks are the driving force of the economy through loans, savings and services.
