According to the findings of the cointegration tests, there is a statistical significant relationship between financial development and private investment in economy of Iran in long term but not in short term. This means that private investment requires a developed financial system that preserves it’s stability during a long period. Furthermore, if the private investment experiences a stable growth trend in a long term, then it can increase financial development.
