Abstract
Financial repression, according to many scholars, is a drag on economic growth and development. To identify factors influencing financial repression we analyzed experts opinion using Delphi Method. We used DEMATEL technique and Graph theory to sequence their importance and feedbacks. The result shows that dependence on oil export revenue is the most important factor causing financial repression and it has increased economic rent and corruption, and it is self-perpetuating. Our findings are consistant with structuralists and post Keynesian views. Reliability of model used is consistant with stylized facts and expert opinion. Besides DEMATEL is a very reliable mathematical model for this types of study.
