Therefore, the aim of the study is to analyze the short and long-term relationships between the GDP per capita, FDI, BSSO and ENF variables covering the years 1990-2020 in Turkey with the ARDL time series method. As a result of the findings, a link was found in Turkey where the variables in question are cointegrated and FDI, BSSO and ENF variables in the long run and FDI and BSSO variables have a positive effect on GDP figures in the short run
