Especially since the 1980s, the current account deficit problem has been one of the most important problems of most countries, especially developing countries. The current account deficit means that a country consumes more than the amount of goods and services it produces during a period. The current account balance is among the most important indicators of the real sector in a country. For this reason, the issue of closing the current account deficit and financing it is important for countries. One of the most important factors in closing and financing the current account deficit is the development levels of countries' financial systems. While high financial development can lead to more foreign resource inflows, low financial development can lead to less foreign resource inflows. Foreign resources are the most important sources for closing the current account deficit. Based on this, the study aims to investigate the relationship between the current account balance and financial development in BRICS-T countries for the period 1994-2021 with the help of symmetric and asymmetric causality. As a result of the symmetric causality analysis, no causality relationship was detected throughout the panel, while a unidirectional causality from the current account balance to financial development was detected only in Brazil and South Africa. According to the findings of asymmetric causality analysis, a causal relationship was determined between positive and negative shocks of current balance and financial development in all countries. This situation reveals the impact of asymmetric information, which is considered one of the significant reasons for market failures. Therefore, it is of great importance for policymakers and investors to consider asymmetric effects in their decision-making processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
