In this work uses quarterly data, relations between import, imports of intermediate goods, import of capital goods and real GDP are analyzed with cointegration analysis and vector correction model. Analysis results indicate that there is causality runs from import and imports of intermediate goods to growth. Moreover, there is bidirectional causality between imports of capital goods and growth.
