ABSTRAKPenelitian ini membahas pengaruh peranan sektor keuangan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia periode 2000-2013. Penelitian ini mencoba mencaritahu peranan sektor keuangan, khususnya perbankan dan pasar modal, dalam mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia. Hasil pengujian secara empiris mengindikasikan bahwa dalam periode 2000 sampai dengan pertengahan 2013 terdapat bi-directional causality antara pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia dengan penyaluran kredit perbankan dan kausalitas satu arah antara kapitalisasi saham di pasar modal dan pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia. Hasil dari Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) cenderung mendukung teori bahwa sistem keuangan berperan mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia melalui ketersediaan kredit yang memfasilitasi investasi, yang pada gilirannya akan menghasilkan pertumbuhan output riil.
