Abstract
The present study aimed to rank the financial development levels of European Union (EU) nations and Turkey based on selected financial and economic indicators. Thus, the most recent annual data for these countries (2017) were analyzed with grey relational analysis (GRA). In the analysis, the decision criteria for 24 EU member nations and Turkey were determined as public debt, public expenditure, unemployment rate, Gini coefficient, and GDP growth. The grey coefficient scores obtained in the analysis revealed the financial performance ranking for the analyzed nations. Based on the entropy weighting method (EM) ranking, the top three countries with highest scores were Ireland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia, while the countries with the lowest scores were Spain, Italy, and Greece.
