AB  - Although, the importance of credit facilities in relation to economic performance has been
investigated in many previous studies mainly focusing on developed countries, this study explores the effect
of credit facilities on firm growth in Jordan, a developing country albeit with a developed banking system. The
study sample comprised 87 Jordanian firms investigated from 2007-2016 using panel data regression. Analysis
results indicated a significant and positive relationship between both assets and employment growth and firm
size indicators and credit facilities indicating that the study sample was comprised of mainly large firms without
financial constraints. The results of this research have an important implication for the banking industry,
business sector and policy makers in Jordan.
