In this framework, the panel Granger causality-based network analysis (GCDN) is employed to reveal the directional and structural interactions between variables in a multidimensional context. The study finds that financial institutions in G7 countries are structurally strong, the main indicators of development in these countries are productivity, level of development and market structure; the complex production structure increases productivity; the increase in economic complexity is directly related to the quality of financial infrastructure and the ability of society to access the infrastructure; and the development of and access to financial markets is important for reducing structural inequality and increasing financial efficiency.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFinancial InstitutionsEconomic ComplexityNetwork AnalysisFinancial DevelopmentFinancial MarketsArticle
