Canada Egypt
India France
New Zealand Greece
Israel Italy
United Kingdom Mexico
United States Brazil
Table (1)

There is a limited role of the government in the common law system. But in civil law system, the main focus is on a strong centralized government. For economic growth, the common law system is more favorable. But it cannot be said that only common law countries are prosperous and civil law countries are not. Suppose, for example some of the European countries follow the system of civil law and are developed countries as well.

An additional factor that determines the economic growth of a country is its political stability. Political stability is a prerequisite for economic growth as it brings certainty regarding the economic policies of the government.

The rule of law is an important factor responsible for the economic growth in a country, irrespective of the common law or civil law followed in that country. If the laws are not implemented properly,then it will adversely affect the economic growth of the country.
