Project Abstract

Abstract
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays a crucial role in the economic development of developing countries by bringing in capital, technology, and expertise. This research study aims to explore the impact of FDI on economic growth in developing countries. The research will focus on analyzing the relationship between FDI inflows and economic growth indicators such as gross domestic product (GDP) growth, employment rates, and poverty reduction. The study will begin with an introduction that provides an overview of the importance of FDI in developing countries and the rationale for conducting the research. The background of the study will delve into the historical context of FDI in developing countries and its significance in shaping economic policies. The problem statement will highlight the gaps in existing literature and the need to further investigate the impact of FDI on economic growth. The objectives of the study include examining the trends of FDI inflows in developing countries, analyzing the relationship between FDI and economic growth indicators, and identifying the key factors that influence the effectiveness of FDI in promoting economic growth. The limitations of the study will be acknowledged, including data availability and potential biases in FDI reporting. The research scope will focus on a selected group of developing countries to provide a comparative analysis of the impact of FDI on economic growth. The significance of the study lies in contributing to the existing body of knowledge on the role of FDI in promoting economic development in developing countries. The structure of the research will be outlined to guide the reader through the methodology, findings, and conclusions of the study. The literature review will encompass ten key themes related to FDI and economic growth, including theories of FDI, empirical studies on FDI impact, government policies, and regulatory frameworks. The research methodology will employ quantitative analysis techniques to examine FDI data and economic growth indicators, with a focus on regression analysis and econometric modeling. The discussion of findings will present the results of the analysis, highlighting the correlation between FDI inflows and economic growth indicators. The impact of FDI on employment generation, technology transfer, and poverty reduction will be discussed to provide insights into the mechanisms through which FDI influences economic growth in developing countries. In conclusion, the research findings will be summarized, and the implications for policy-making and future research will be discussed. The study aims to contribute to a better understanding of how FDI can be leveraged to promote sustainable economic growth and development in developing countries.
