Project Abstract

Abstract
Foreign direct investment (FDI) has been recognized as a significant driver of economic growth in developing countries. This research study aims to investigate the impact of FDI on economic growth in developing countries, focusing on various factors such as investment inflows, host country policies, and economic indicators. The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of FDI data with qualitative assessment of policy frameworks and economic performance. The research begins by providing an overview of the background of FDI and its role in economic development. A thorough review of existing literature on the subject is conducted to establish a theoretical framework for the study. Theoretical concepts such as spillover effects, technology transfer, and productivity enhancement are explored to understand the mechanisms through which FDI influences economic growth. The methodology section outlines the research design, data collection methods, and analytical techniques employed in the study. Quantitative analysis involves the examination of FDI inflows and economic growth indicators over a specific period, while qualitative analysis focuses on case studies of developing countries that have experienced significant FDI impacts. The research methodology also includes the identification of key variables and control factors that may influence the relationship between FDI and economic growth. Findings from the study reveal that FDI inflows have a positive impact on economic growth in developing countries, particularly through the transfer of technology, skills, and managerial expertise. However, the effectiveness of FDI in driving economic growth is contingent upon various factors, including the quality of governance, regulatory environment, and infrastructure development. Policy recommendations are provided to enhance the positive effects of FDI on economic growth, such as improving investment climate, promoting technology spillovers, and strengthening institutional capacity. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the importance of FDI as a catalyst for economic growth in developing countries. By attracting foreign investment and leveraging external resources, developing countries can accelerate their economic development and achieve sustainable growth. The research contributes to the existing literature on the impact of FDI on economic growth and provides valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and development practitioners seeking to promote inclusive and sustainable development in developing countries.
