65 PAGES (10090 WORDS) Economics Project
ABSTRACT

The study investigates the impact of Foreign Direct Investment on economic growth in Nigeria. The study however investigates the level of real Gross Domestic Product vis-à-vis foreign direct investment, capital flow and exchange rate. Ordinary Least Square [OLS] is used to estimate three major macroeconomic variables in order to justify their effects on economic growth. The results of the findings further suggest that foreign direct investment has a significant impact on the level of economic growth in Nigeria. Therefore, the study recommends among others, that the nation’s monetary authorities should develop and implement measures that will ensure that both inflation and foreign exchange rates are sustained such that will ensure increasing level of inflow of FDI.
