This research aims to investigate the influence of institutional quality on Economic growth in MENA region. The sample covers 22 MENA region countries for the period 1996-2017. Governance indicators are used as a proxy for institutional quality. Results suggest that the model adopted by Abou-Ali and M. Abdelfattah (2013), in which they use the Resource Curse Hypothesis model and the Environmental Kuznets Curve model simultaneously, while taking into consideration the institutional quality, is best fitted to the data. Furthermore, findings indicated a positive and significant effect of institutional quality on economic growth in high and middle income countries in MENA region
