Project Abstract

Abstract
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays a significant role in the economic development of developing countries. This research aims to analyze the impact of FDI on economic growth in these nations. The study focuses on understanding the relationship between FDI inflows and various economic indicators that contribute to overall economic growth. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, this research explores the theoretical foundations and empirical evidence supporting the positive effects of FDI on economic growth. The research methodology involves a quantitative analysis using panel data from a sample of developing countries over a specific time period. By employing econometric techniques such as regression analysis, this study seeks to establish a causal relationship between FDI inflows and economic growth indicators such as gross domestic product (GDP), employment rates, and technological advancement. The findings from the empirical analysis provide valuable insights into the mechanisms through which FDI influences economic growth in developing countries. The results indicate that higher levels of FDI inflows are associated with increased GDP growth, improved productivity, and enhanced technological capabilities. Moreover, the study examines the role of government policies, institutional quality, and market conditions in attracting and maximizing the benefits of FDI for economic development. The discussion of findings highlights the importance of creating an enabling environment that encourages and sustains FDI inflows in developing countries. Policy recommendations are provided to guide policymakers in designing strategies that promote FDI, enhance its positive impact on economic growth, and mitigate potential risks associated with foreign investment. In conclusion, this research contributes to the existing literature on the relationship between FDI and economic growth in developing countries. By providing a nuanced analysis of the mechanisms through which FDI influences economic outcomes, this study offers valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and other stakeholders interested in promoting sustainable economic development in the global South.
