The Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment: A study based on country-level...Yi Zhang
This document is a master's thesis that examines the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) using country-level panel data. It begins with an introduction that notes the rapid growth of FDI in recent decades and outlines the research questions. A literature review then discusses previous research on potential factors that influence FDI. The paper will use regression analysis to investigate the effects of various economic, institutional and policy variables on FDI inflows. It will also include regional dummy variables to analyze differences in FDI patterns across geographic regions. The results aim to identify which factors cause variation in FDI levels among countries and how these factors impact FDI.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) involves a company from one country making a physical investment in building or expanding a business in another country. There are several potential benefits of FDI for host countries, including transferring technology, exploiting natural resources, and generating employment. However, the effects of FDI depend on the type (e.g. greenfield vs mergers and acquisitions) and can include both positive and negative externalities. Political risk also affects foreign investment and refers to complications from political decisions and instability in a country that impact business objectives and outcomes.
FDI as A Source of External Finance to Developing Countries: A Special Refere...iosrjce
In this era of increasingly globalized world economy, FDI is particularly a significant driving force
behind the interdependence of national economies and is considered as the main source of external finance. The
considerable decline in official development assistance (ODA) and commercial bank lending to developing
countries, which are considered as the main sources of meeting the external financing needs of developing
countries, have seen a greater reliance on private capital especially foreign direct investment as a source of
development finance. This is because of the fact that FDI not only remains much less volatile than portfolio and
other investments but it has also proved to be resilient enough during East Asian crisis of 1997-98 and the
Mexican crisis of 1994-95. In view of this growing significance of foreign direct investment, this paper aims to
study the role of FDI in external financing to developing countries, particularly India and China and the
benefits of combining FDI with other private sources of external finance. The paper concludes that FDI is the
major source of external finance for developing economies not only in absolute terms but also relative to other
sources of private capital flows, contributing on an average more than half of net private and official flows
during the period under review. The findings also presented a completely different picture with regard to the
structure of external financing for India and China. For China, FDI is the major external source of finance
followed by debt. On the other hand, for India Workers’ Remittances is the major source of external finance
followed by debt. The paper further concludes that China and India are the first and third most developing
country destinations for investment flows respectively and both are vying with each other to attract more and
more FDI inflows.
• The true picture of China’s outbound investment is quite different from many people’s impression.
• Investments in Africa are also in their early stages.
• Investments in Belt & Road countries remained small and slowed in the past year.
• Mining is no longer a primary target of China’s acquisition.
• The reduced foreign exchange reserve is not hard constraint to the outbound investment.
- The document analyzes the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows and gross domestic product (GDP) in India from 1990 to 2012.
- It finds a strong positive correlation (r=0.859) between FDI inflows and GDP over the period studied, indicating FDI causes growth of India's GDP to a large extent.
- The study also aims to determine the impact of FDI on per capita GDP in India and finds a strong positive correlation, supporting the hypothesis that there is a relationship between FDI inflows and increases in per capita GDP.
- In conclusion, the study recommends improving India's investment climate to strengthen its position in the globalized economy by enhancing competitiveness
This document analyzes the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Malaysia's manufacturing industry from 1980-2002. It finds:
1) Malaysia received substantial FDI over this period, which was an important driver of its economic growth and industrialization.
2) An econometric analysis using cointegration and fully-modified least squares methods found that increases in education, infrastructure, market size, and current account balance led to increases in FDI, while increases in inflation and exchange rate led to decreases.
3) Major sources of FDI in Malaysia's manufacturing sector included the US, Japan, Germany, and Singapore, with electrical/electronics, petroleum, and chemicals as top recipient industries.

Catalysts and barriers to foreign direct investment in ghanaAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that investigated factors influencing foreign direct investment (FDI) in Ghana. The study found that abundant natural resources, political stability, cheap labor, and growing markets encourage FDI in Ghana. However, poor ICT infrastructure, volatile exchange rates, unreliable energy and water supplies, and a poor road network inhibit FDI inflows. The document provides background on theories of how FDI impacts economic growth and reviews literature on determinants and barriers of FDI.
Tax Incentives and Foreign Direct Investment in Nigeriaiosrjce
Given the significance of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to economic growth and the use of tax
incentives as a strategy among government of various countries to attract FDI, this study examines the influence
of tax incentives in the decision of an investor to locate FDI in Nigeria. Data were drawn from annual statistical
bulletin of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the World Bank World Development Indicators Database. The work
employs a model of multiple regressions using static Error Correction Modelling (ECM) to determine the time
series properties of tax incentives captured by annual tax revenue as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product
(GDP)and FDI. The result showed that FDI response to tax incentives is negatively significant, that is, increase
in tax incentives does not bring about a corresponding increase in FDI. Based on the findings, the paper
recommends, amongst others, that dependence on tax incentives should be reduced and more attention be put on
other incentives strategies such as stable economic reforms and stable political climate.
External Financing and Economic Growth in Nigeria 1986 2017ijtsrd
External financing has become a veritable resort to remedying the common problems of low productivity, low productivity, low savings and high dependent on consumption from exports in most less developed economies. The use of external finance is believed to have the capacity to close wide gap between domestic savings and investment and provide the complementary funds to facilitate economic activities necessary for growth in Nigeria. This study aimed to investigate the effect of external financing on economic growth in Nigeria between 1986 and 2017. External financing was captured using five variables of external debt stock EDS , foreign direct investment FDI , official development assistance ODA , remittance RMT and foreign portfolio investment FPI , as the independent variables, regressed on economic growth represented by annual growth rate of gross domestic product GDPR as the dependent variable. Data for these variables were obtained from World Development Indicator, and analyzed based on the Autoregressive Distributive Lag ARDL approach. The findings revealed that, in the long run, EDS and FDI had a negative and a positive, significant effects, respectively, while others had no effect on growth in the short run, all the external financing variables EDS, FDI, FPI, ODA, and RMT had no significant effect on economic growth in Nigeria. The study averred that FDI is a veritable source of financing that can bring about economic sustainability to Nigeria. The study recommended, among others, that government should deploy external debts for regenerative projects that will eventually liquidate themselves in the long run. Ekwunife, Ifeanyi Jude | Dr. J.

Impact of Exchange rate volatility on FDI in PakistanIOSR Journals
The main objective of our study is to determine the relationship of FDI with exchange rate volatility exchange rate and inflation. There are large numbers of FDI determinants but exchange rate is one of reflective determinant. Exchange rate extremely volatile due to its frailty to adopt the changes in international and domestic investment. In our study, we use time series data for FDI, exchange rate volatility, exchange rate, government consumption and domestic credit from 1980 to 2011 for Pakistan. Different time series econometrics techniques (volatility analysis, normality test, PP, unit root test) have been used for analysis. Results demonstrate that exchange rate volatility and inflation deter FDI while exchange rate has positive relationship with it.

This document discusses the relationship between financial sector development and poverty reduction. It argues that financial sector development is an effective way to reduce poverty through four main avenues: improving efficiency, increasing access and range of services, improving regulation, and increasing access for more of the population. The financial sector is divided into four parts for analysis: banking, insurance, stock markets, and bond markets. Variables are identified to measure development in each sector. The study aims to analyze the relationship between financial sector development and poverty across different countries. Financial sector development leads to growth, which then reduces poverty, demonstrating a negative relationship between financial sector development and poverty.

Capital movement theory describes international capital movement as any transfer of capital between countries, in the form of physical capital or financial capital, with the goal of obtaining extra profit through interest, dividends, shares, or rental profits from corporations abroad. International capital movement plays an important role in the economic development of many countries by providing outlets for savings, helping to finance underdeveloped countries, easing balance of payments problems, and contributing to more stable economic growth patterns through smoothing of business cycles. One of the most significant economic developments of the 1990s was the surge in international capital flows resulting from greater financial liberalization and technological improvements.

Contribution of foreign direct investment on development in nigeria..Emmanuel Okoh
This document examines the contribution of foreign direct investment (FDI) to development in Nigeria. It discusses how FDI facilitates technological transfer, innovation, and human capital development, which supports industrialization. FDI also increases revenue generation and market access. The document reviews concepts of FDI and evaluates its role in Nigeria, finding that over 60% of FDI inflows are in the extractive industry. It asserts that FDI contributes to GDP growth, capital formation, exports, and foreign exchange, but the linkage between FDI and economic growth in Nigeria requires more clarity.
The document discusses the rise of BRICs' (Brazil, Russia, India, China) international financial power and its implications. It finds that while BRICs' financial openness and external investments have increased in recent years, their international financial influence remains relatively weak compared to their economic size due to lagging domestic financial development. The moderately enhanced financial power of BRICs can help provide low-cost capital and promote stability but BRICs have little influence over international financial governance. For BRICs to strengthen their global financial role, they need to accelerate domestic financial reforms and increase cooperation among themselves and with other economies.

Capital Inflows and Economic Growth A Comperative Studyiosrjce
This study examines the impact of capital inflows on economic growth of developing* economies; the
case of Nigeria Ghana and India from 1986-2012. This is necessitated by the doubts being raised as whether the
huge inflows of foreign capita! in developing economies over the years have transmitted to real economic
growth. Augmented Dickey Fuller unit root test was employed to evaluate the stationarity of the data, while
Johansen Co-integration was used to estimate the long-run equilibrium relationship among the variables. The
casual relationship was tested using Granger Causality, and Ordinary Least Square method was used to
estimate the model. The finding reveals that capital inflows have significant impact on the economic growth of
the three countries. In Nigeria and Ghana, foreign direct and portfolio investment and foreign borrowings have
significant and positive impact on economic growth. Workers' remittances significantly and positively related to
the economic growth of the three countries. The enabling environment should be created in the Developing
Countries to encourage more inflow of foreign investments and workers remittances while India specifically
should channel their foreign aids to productive ends. This will help in dosing the savings-investment gap and
encourage economic growth in these countries. The study signifies that capital inflows is indispensable in
dosing the savings-investment gap required for economic growth of developing countries.
In this paper we try to estimate effects of financial deepness and capital account liberalization on economic growth, investment and the total factor productivity (TFP) in Slovenia from 1993 to the second quarter of 2001. We find out that the only positive effect of capital account liberalization was increased credits to private sector. On the other hand, financial depth has a positive and significant effect on economic growth and investment, but not on the TFP growth. Moreover, it is not likely that also capital account liberalization positively affects above specified choice variables. Namely, financial deepening is achieved through development of adequate institutions and sustainable macroeconomic policies. Once financial system is set in the country, capital account liberalization takes place.

This document discusses concerns about the sustainability and accountability of foreign investment by government-controlled entities like Sovereign Wealth Funds and State-Owned Enterprises. It notes that while such investment offers benefits, the lack of transparency and potential for political influence raises fears. There have been various attempts to regulate this investment through voluntary principles and ratings systems, but challenges remain around differing perceptions of sustainability standards between countries and lack of credibility in disclosures. Global uniform standards are ideal but difficult to achieve given resistance from some investors and harmonizing sustainability definitions across diverse nations.
Performing Online Survey’s “An Added Advantage” Over Advertisementijtsrd
In this article we try to study about the importance of performing surveys and they have an added advantage over advertisement. In earlier years manual surveys were done often door to door but off late surveys are being done online all over the world. Most of the nations conduct online surveys and use this as a great strategy to create good products and provide good services to the people and avoid spending heavily on advertisements. Surveys offer many benefits and therefore have become famous for their convenience, comfort and accurate feedback from the consumers. This article is based on the recent trends observed in various sectors where surveys are done and advertisements are offered to the consumer. After doing the marketing research by the companies and the changes in consumer behaviour observed the following conclusion is drawn.

Foreign Direct Investment and its Determinants: A Study on India and Brazilinventionjournals
International trade builds up through international factor movement (IFM). IFM means movement of labour, capital and other elements of production among different country. It occurs by three ways: first one is immigration or emigration, international borrowing or lending is second way and last one is foreign direct investment (FDI). FDI means controlling ownership of a business enterprise of one country is based on entity of another country. Investment through FDI depends on various factors namely Inflation Rate, Human Development Index (HDI), Global Terrorism Index (GTI), Global Peace Index (GPI), Unemployment, Population; Corruption Perception Index (CPI), Industrial disputes etc. Object of this present study is to identify the effect of these factors on FDI inflow for India and Brazil. Also identify the more important determinants for FDI of these two countries. Ten years data (2005 to 2014) have been used for determining the result of this study. Result reveals that there exist impact of sample factors on FDI Inflow between two countries but strength of different factors varies
USING STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING ON FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT OF INDIAN ECO...indexPub
Purpose: Foreign direct investment (FDI) altogether influences the beneficiary country's financial development, making it more stable, high-quality, and healthy, according to this empirical study based on the present stage of economic development. Thus, every country encountering financial globalization is attempting to lay out a serious business climate to increment worldwide speculation. Design/Methodology/Approach: the main objective of this study is based on Institutional quality or Evidence and I selected 5 factors Institutional Metrics like Voice and Accountability, Civil liberties, Women in parliament, Corruption perceptions, Political rights from DPIIT website (Secondary Data) for the period 2018-2023. Static analysis methods such as the Unit Root Test, the ARDL Approach, and SEM are being used. Originality/Value: The experts in this study used OLS (Least Squares) regression: Foreign direct investment (FDI) streams were the focal point of the exploration. The impact of institutional qualities on unfamiliar direct speculation streams has been explored utilizing the customary least square methodology. Findings: Institutional metrics of government efficacy and corruption have shown a shortrun link with foreign direct investment (FDI) flows, according to the research, which used the ARDL model to find that these indicators had positive coefficient values. As far as institutional markers like law and order, administrative quality, and voice and responsibility, the review found that political stability had a long-term association with foreign direct investment flows (7.4578 > 4.16), placing it above the upper peasant table.

Impact of Exchange rate volatility on FDI in PakistanIOSR Journals
The main objective of our study is to determine the relationship of FDI with exchange rate volatility exchange rate and inflation. There are large numbers of FDI determinants but exchange rate is one of reflective determinant. Exchange rate extremely volatile due to its frailty to adopt the changes in international and domestic investment. In our study, we use time series data for FDI, exchange rate volatility, exchange rate, government consumption and domestic credit from 1980 to 2011 for Pakistan. Different time series econometrics techniques (volatility analysis, normality test, PP, unit root test) have been used for analysis. Results demonstrate that exchange rate volatility and inflation deter FDI while exchange rate has positive relationship with it.

This document discusses the relationship between financial sector development and poverty reduction. It argues that financial sector development is an effective way to reduce poverty through four main avenues: improving efficiency, increasing access and range of services, improving regulation, and increasing access for more of the population. The financial sector is divided into four parts for analysis: banking, insurance, stock markets, and bond markets. Variables are identified to measure development in each sector. The study aims to analyze the relationship between financial sector development and poverty across different countries. Financial sector development leads to growth, which then reduces poverty, demonstrating a negative relationship between financial sector development and poverty.

Capital movement theory describes international capital movement as any transfer of capital between countries, in the form of physical capital or financial capital, with the goal of obtaining extra profit through interest, dividends, shares, or rental profits from corporations abroad. International capital movement plays an important role in the economic development of many countries by providing outlets for savings, helping to finance underdeveloped countries, easing balance of payments problems, and contributing to more stable economic growth patterns through smoothing of business cycles. One of the most significant economic developments of the 1990s was the surge in international capital flows resulting from greater financial liberalization and technological improvements.

Contribution of foreign direct investment on development in nigeria..Emmanuel Okoh
This document examines the contribution of foreign direct investment (FDI) to development in Nigeria. It discusses how FDI facilitates technological transfer, innovation, and human capital development, which supports industrialization. FDI also increases revenue generation and market access. The document reviews concepts of FDI and evaluates its role in Nigeria, finding that over 60% of FDI inflows are in the extractive industry. It asserts that FDI contributes to GDP growth, capital formation, exports, and foreign exchange, but the linkage between FDI and economic growth in Nigeria requires more clarity.
The document discusses the rise of BRICs' (Brazil, Russia, India, China) international financial power and its implications. It finds that while BRICs' financial openness and external investments have increased in recent years, their international financial influence remains relatively weak compared to their economic size due to lagging domestic financial development. The moderately enhanced financial power of BRICs can help provide low-cost capital and promote stability but BRICs have little influence over international financial governance. For BRICs to strengthen their global financial role, they need to accelerate domestic financial reforms and increase cooperation among themselves and with other economies.

Capital Inflows and Economic Growth A Comperative Studyiosrjce
This study examines the impact of capital inflows on economic growth of developing* economies; the
case of Nigeria Ghana and India from 1986-2012. This is necessitated by the doubts being raised as whether the
huge inflows of foreign capita! in developing economies over the years have transmitted to real economic
growth. Augmented Dickey Fuller unit root test was employed to evaluate the stationarity of the data, while
Johansen Co-integration was used to estimate the long-run equilibrium relationship among the variables. The
casual relationship was tested using Granger Causality, and Ordinary Least Square method was used to
estimate the model. The finding reveals that capital inflows have significant impact on the economic growth of
the three countries. In Nigeria and Ghana, foreign direct and portfolio investment and foreign borrowings have
significant and positive impact on economic growth. Workers' remittances significantly and positively related to
the economic growth of the three countries. The enabling environment should be created in the Developing
Countries to encourage more inflow of foreign investments and workers remittances while India specifically
should channel their foreign aids to productive ends. This will help in dosing the savings-investment gap and
encourage economic growth in these countries. The study signifies that capital inflows is indispensable in
dosing the savings-investment gap required for economic growth of developing countries.
In this paper we try to estimate effects of financial deepness and capital account liberalization on economic growth, investment and the total factor productivity (TFP) in Slovenia from 1993 to the second quarter of 2001. We find out that the only positive effect of capital account liberalization was increased credits to private sector. On the other hand, financial depth has a positive and significant effect on economic growth and investment, but not on the TFP growth. Moreover, it is not likely that also capital account liberalization positively affects above specified choice variables. Namely, financial deepening is achieved through development of adequate institutions and sustainable macroeconomic policies. Once financial system is set in the country, capital account liberalization takes place.
Input for UNCTAD 2014 World Investment ReportLilac Nachum
This document discusses concerns about the sustainability and accountability of foreign investment by government-controlled entities like Sovereign Wealth Funds and State-Owned Enterprises. It notes that while such investment offers benefits, the lack of transparency and potential for political influence raises fears. There have been various attempts to regulate this investment through voluntary principles and ratings systems, but challenges remain around differing perceptions of sustainability standards between countries and lack of credibility in disclosures. Global uniform standards are ideal but difficult to achieve given resistance from some investors and harmonizing sustainability definitions across diverse nations.
Performing Online Survey’s “An Added Advantage” Over Advertisementijtsrd
In this article we try to study about the importance of performing surveys and they have an added advantage over advertisement. In earlier years manual surveys were done often door to door but off late surveys are being done online all over the world. Most of the nations conduct online surveys and use this as a great strategy to create good products and provide good services to the people and avoid spending heavily on advertisements. Surveys offer many benefits and therefore have become famous for their convenience, comfort and accurate feedback from the consumers. This article is based on the recent trends observed in various sectors where surveys are done and advertisements are offered to the consumer. After doing the marketing research by the companies and the changes in consumer behaviour observed the following conclusion is drawn.

Foreign Direct Investment and its Determinants: A Study on India and Brazilinventionjournals
International trade builds up through international factor movement (IFM). IFM means movement of labour, capital and other elements of production among different country. It occurs by three ways: first one is immigration or emigration, international borrowing or lending is second way and last one is foreign direct investment (FDI). FDI means controlling ownership of a business enterprise of one country is based on entity of another country. Investment through FDI depends on various factors namely Inflation Rate, Human Development Index (HDI), Global Terrorism Index (GTI), Global Peace Index (GPI), Unemployment, Population; Corruption Perception Index (CPI), Industrial disputes etc. Object of this present study is to identify the effect of these factors on FDI inflow for India and Brazil. Also identify the more important determinants for FDI of these two countries. Ten years data (2005 to 2014) have been used for determining the result of this study. Result reveals that there exist impact of sample factors on FDI Inflow between two countries but strength of different factors varies

Purpose: Foreign direct investment (FDI) altogether influences the beneficiary country's financial development, making it more stable, high-quality, and healthy, according to this empirical study based on the present stage of economic development. Thus, every country encountering financial globalization is attempting to lay out a serious business climate to increment worldwide speculation. Design/Methodology/Approach: the main objective of this study is based on Institutional quality or Evidence and I selected 5 factors Institutional Metrics like Voice and Accountability, Civil liberties, Women in parliament, Corruption perceptions, Political rights from DPIIT website (Secondary Data) for the period 2018-2023. Static analysis methods such as the Unit Root Test, the ARDL Approach, and SEM are being used. Originality/Value: The experts in this study used OLS (Least Squares) regression: Foreign direct investment (FDI) streams were the focal point of the exploration. The impact of institutional qualities on unfamiliar direct speculation streams has been explored utilizing the customary least square methodology. Findings: Institutional metrics of government efficacy and corruption have shown a shortrun link with foreign direct investment (FDI) flows, according to the research, which used the ARDL model to find that these indicators had positive coefficient values. As far as institutional markers like law and order, administrative quality, and voice and responsibility, the review found that political stability had a long-term association with foreign direct investment flows (7.4578 > 4.16), placing it above the upper peasant table.

Foreign Investment and Its Effect on the Economic Growth in Nigeria: A Triang...iosrjce
Evidence abound about the registered increase in foreign investment inflows in recent years. While
proponents emphasize that these inflows could engender economic growth, critics express concern that there
could be destabilizing effect on the economy if not well managed. This study therefore, attempts to examine the
effect of foreign investments (disaggregated into foreign direct investment and foreign portfolio investment)
inflows on economic growth in Nigeria with a view to ascertaining the better contributor, using time series data
from 1987-2012. The OLS and the Granger causality procedures were employed in analyzing the data. The
result displays that both foreign direct investment and foreign portfolio investment have positive and significant
effect on economic growth though the partial correlation coefficients show that foreign portfolio investment is
the better contributor. Based on the result, government should pursue policies that encourage both foreign
direct investment and especially foreign portfolio investment.
The document discusses a study investigating the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth in Pakistan from 1990-2006. The study uses a production function model including FDI, trade, domestic capital, labor, and human capital as independent variables affecting economic growth. The expected results are a statistically significant positive relationship between real per capita GDP and FDI in Pakistan. Policy recommendations could then be made regarding FDI in Pakistan based on the results.
A Literature Review On The Relationship Between Foreign Direct Investment And...Audrey Britton
This document provides a literature review on the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth. It discusses that while theories and studies have conflicting views on whether FDI boosts or hinders economic growth, most research finds that FDI can stimulate growth through technology transfers, productivity gains, and increasing capital stock and employment. However, some argue FDI may "crowd out" domestic investment or lead to external vulnerability. The document reviews several empirical studies that have found positive correlations between FDI and economic growth, technology diffusion, and domestic investment. Overall, it examines the complex debate around FDI's impact on host country economies.

This document summarizes a thesis that examines the impact of official development assistance (ODA) on foreign direct investment (FDI) in Vietnam using provincial data from 1998 to 2012. The author conducts a literature review that finds mixed results on the relationship between ODA and FDI. Some studies find a positive relationship, others a negative relationship, and some no relationship. The author develops a theoretical model based on neoclassical growth theory to explain the potential relationship. An empirical model is then specified to test the impact of ODA on FDI using panel data and controlling for factors like GDP, openness, and human capital. The author hypothesizes that ODA will have a positive significant effect on FDI inflows in
Foreign Aid and Economic Growth in the West African States: A Panel Frameworkinventionjournals
This paper examines the impact of economic variables namely, foreign direct investment (FDI), investment, export, foreign aid and broad money supply on economic growth, approximated by gross domestic product (GDP)using annual data covering a period 1981-2008 on a group of West African countries. The impact of variables on GDP is estimated using three panel estimation models: pooled model (pooled), fixed effects model (FEM) and random effects model (REM). We explore the hypothesis that foreign aid can promote growth in developing countries. We test this hypothesis using panel data series,while the findings of previous studies are generally mixed, our resultsindicate that foreign direct investment has purely positive effects on economic growth in West African countries

Transitory and Permanent Effects of Capital Market Development on Capital For...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Recent research on the relationship between capital market development and capital formation is
inconsistent.This study investigates the effect of capital market development on capital formation, and
theempiricalmethodutilisedinthisstudy, the Mundlak method,decomposestheeffectsofcapitalmarket development
on capital formation into transitory and permanent effects. This decomposition is important in order to ascertain
whether capital market development is beneficial to short-run or long-run capital formation, which is a key
determinant of a country‟s growth level.The study investigates the capital market development-capital formation
nexus byapplyingaggregate dataset from seven countries within the Sub-Saharan African
regionnamelyGhana,Kenya,IvoryCoast,Mauritius,Nigeria,SouthAfrica,and Zimbabwe over the period from 1980
to 2021. The results indicatethat capital market development has a transitory negative impact on capital
formation,but has a permanent positive impact on capital formation. More importantly, the permanent effect
seems more robust and stronger than the transitory effect. The findings conform to conventional wisdom that
Sub-Saharan African countries with well-developed capital markets experience long-run benefits of increased
capital formation and improved economic development. Based on the research findings, we recommend that
capital market authorities of Sub-Saharan African countries should prioritise policies that will boost productivity,
liquidity, and resilience. The study further recommends that Sub-Saharan African countries must improve their
capital markets‟ infrastructures, and eliminate the tax, legal and regulatory hurdles that impede the development
of their domestic capital markets.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies. The researcher hopes that the present research study will be helpful to all selected Companies for improving level of corporate disclosure through annual reports as well as the government, creditors, investors, all business organizations and upcoming researcher for comparative analyses of level of corporate disclosure with special reference to selected IT companies.

“One Language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” Frank Smith English as a foreign language or as a second language has been ruling in India since the period of Lord Macaulay. But the question is how much we teach or learn English properly in our culture. Is there any scope to use English as a language rather than a subject How much we learn or teach English without any interference of mother language specially in the classroom teaching learning scenario in West Bengal By considering all these issues the researcher has attempted in this article to focus on the effective teaching learning process comparing to other traditional strategies in the field of English curriculum at the secondary level to investigate whether they fulfill the present teaching learning requirements or not by examining the validity of the present curriculum of English. The purpose of this study is to focus on the effectiveness of the systematic, scientific, sequential and logical transaction of the course between the teachers and the learners in the perspective of the 5Es programme that is engage, explore, explain, extend and evaluate.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

run effects of financial development on foreign direct
investment in Africa as a whole and in different regions of
the continent. Precedent studies
II. Literature Review
2.1. Direct effect of financial development on FDI
(8) supported that a well-developed financial system
allows to effectively attract capital inflows. Destination
country’ source of external finance along with favorable
conditions act like an incentive driving and raising
multinational desire engage in FDI (6).(9) emphasizes the
degree to which the U.S. MNEs operate in recipient
countries with high developed financial showing that the
intensity of U.S. foreign subsidies’ activities are very
limited in recipient countries with constraint and
expensive external finance. (5) stressed that considerably
affecting local firms the quality of the financial system is
also a key determinant of the host country ability to
effectively attract foreign capital inflow because even in
case multinational enterprises does not rely on host
country’s external finance, their decision to invest in the
host country will still depend on the host country’s
financial state and conditions.
(2) support that well developed financial system in the
host country could possibly exert a direct negative
disintegration effect on foreign directinvestmentin caseit
fosters prominent replacement of foreign outsourcing for
integration, This is due to the fact that lenders do not lay
borrowings to multinationals under the obligation of
holding equity share or controlling interest in the foreign
partners in economies with well-developed financial
system, thus limiting the multinational engagement in
foreign direct investment. Empiricalstudyof(Antraset al.,
2009) corroborates this theory evincing that U.S.
enterprises are less likely to engage in FDI in well
financially developed countries and are more likely to
engage in arm's length technology transfers.Furthermore,
they indicates strong financial system in the host country
does not necessarily lessen the overall activities of
multinational as stronger financial system implies strong
protection of investors, justifying an increase of U.S
foreign affiliates in such countries, according to the
authors this leads to conclude that the direct positive
access to external finance effect of host countrydominates
any possible direct negative disintegration effect.
(18) supported that market liberalization increases the
inflow of capitals which in turn diminish the risk-free rate
and lower the cost of capital. In addition, the lending cost
is lessened because foreign investors share a portion of
the risk, consequently alleviating the risk premium.
Following the same train, (11) found the existence of bi-
directional causality relation between financial market
liberalization and capital flows. The author indicated that
developed financial system reduces cost for multinational
enterprises thus affecting their decision to invest, the
study stands that the liberalization of stock market can
decrease the cost of equity capital, turning positive the
NPV (net present value) of someinvestments,thusleading
to an increase of physical investment. For Desai et al.,
(2006), well developed stock market improve a country’s
attractiveness of foreign capital throughthe enhancement
of listed companies’ liquidity and reduction of capital cost
for multinational enterprises. The same study supports
that capital control can also act like pull off of FDI due to
complications and restrictions of profits repatriation
which matters formultinationals pushingthemtoinvestin
countries with less restrictions of profits repatriation.
Investigating the impact of financial development on FDI,
Exploring the diverse effects of source and destination
countries’ financialdevelopmenton FDI,(27)provided the
evidence of the fact that destination countries financial
development promote foreign direct investment inflow,
meanwhile playing an indirect role on the overall
economic dynamic; indeed, well developed financial
system in the host country has a positive direct external
finance effect on the size of FDI inward if the destination
country raises a part of the external finance needed by
foreign firm to engage in FDI projects (27). Their research
also indicated that there is a correlation betweenfinancial
development and many other attributes of a country such
as human capital, quality of institution, natural resources
all playing a determinant role on FDI inflow. For Vahid
Mahboobi Matin (2019), financial development exerts a
dual effect on foreign direct investment inward and
outward, and numerous difficulties of absorbing and
issuing FDI originate from the level of financial
development.
Governments seeking to attract foreign multinational
firms and to promote the internationalization of their
enterprises have to implement strategies and measures in
order to ameliorate the access to external finance, in fact,
FDI outflows are very sensitive to external finance access
and availability, tight and restricted conditions for credit
lead to the fall of FDI flows (25). FDI projects implies the
necessity to purchase or establish production facilities in
the host country (10).
Enterprises envisaging FDI projects must also engage
upfront fixed costs (27) as exporting to a foreign market
require the establishment of distribution channels and
research to detect the most gainful destinations, identify
their peculiarities in order meet their needs and tastes
(24). Some FDI projects largely relies on external finance
as the firm internal cash flow maybe insufficient (23),
enterprise’ access to external finance relies on financial
development and better developed financial systemof the
home country has a positive directexternalfinanceimpact
on the size of FDI outward (25). Existing literature
indicates that both home and host countries financial
development have a positive impact on foreign direct
investment, but according to some researchers, the home
country’s financial system matters most for the fundingof
foreign direct investment projects as strong relationship
exist between parent firms and their local lenders leading
to less constraining borrowing conditions, credit
availability at favorable conditions while relationship
between parent firms and host country’s local banks may
be at early stage, precarious, fragile and sometimes
tenuous, (16) also provide the evidence that credit
restrictions and constraints has a negative influence on
FDI outward, their study shows that during the banking
crisis in Japan, the degree to which Japanese firms engage
in FDI projects towards the United states was correlated
with the depravation of the financial state of their
principal bank. (3) in their work focus on the relationship
between financial development and FDI inflows in

economies of the Eastern and Central European Union for
the period 1996-2015. The result of their panel data
analysis show that there is no cointegration between
foreign direct investment and financial development,
however, they found a unidirectional causality running
from financial development to theinflowsofforeigndirect
investment in the short run. (14) revisited in their work
the link between the development of finance and the
inflow of foreign direct investment in China, the applied
VECM technique revealeda long-runrelationshipandtwo-
ways causality between the two concepts. Utilizing the
quality of institution as a moderator, (20) analyze the
relationship between the development of finance and
foreign direct investment in 79 economies partners of the
Belt and Road Initiative, their findings indicate that in
these countries well-developed financial sector enhance
the inflows of FDI. (18) through threshold technique
investigate the impact of financial deepening on foreign
direct investment in countries partners of the Belt and
Road Initiative, they find that financial deepening exerts
on FDI inflows a positive and significant impact. But the
study also reveals thateconomieswithfinancialdeepening
less than 0.1803 threshold are slightly predisposed to
attract inward FDI. Furthermore, their result indicate that
in low-income economies financial system has a positive
and significant impact on FDI while the relationship is
insignificant in advanced markets economies.
2.2. Indirect effect of financial developmentonFDI
In addition to the direct and indirect effect that strong
financial system in home and host countries exert on FDI,
higher financial development also exert an important
impact on FDI through the promotionandenhancement of
economic activities (15). In home country, when some
sectors experience the existence of large number of
producers a well-developed financialsystemenhancesthe
size of foreign direct investment projects. Meanwhile,
when the number of active firms increase this results in
higher competition leading to profits reduction pushing
firms to engage in new FDI projects, but profits lost could
also decrease firm’s engagement in FDI due to lack of
funds needed to cover fixed cost of FDI. In some cases
increased competition can lead to increase of FDI projects
when financial development allows firms tofindsexternal
finance (27).
Analyzing the impact of credit restriction on international
trade, (19) found that through positive effect on overall
production, financial development indirectly augments
export activities. (13) indicated that recipient country’s
financial development could have indirect negative
competition effect making recipient countries less
attractive to multinational as local inputs prices may
increase due to high competition pushing multinational to
target other markets. (4) conducted a study where
empirical result suggests thathostcountry welldeveloped
financial system has indirect negative competition effect
on FDI while exerting a direct positive financing effect on
FDI.

3.2. Pooled Mean Group, Mean Group and Dynamic Fixed Effects Estimators
To analyze the long-run effects of financial institution access, financial institution efficiency and financial institution
development on foreign direct investment the following basic regression can be estimated:
FDIit = β1+ β2 lnfiait + β3 lnfieit + β4 lnfidit + ɛit (1)
4. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470
@ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD37992 | Volume – 5 | Issue – 1 | November-December 2020 Page 572
Where FDIit is foreign direct investment, lnfiaitis financialinstitution access, lnfieitisfinancial institutionefficiency,lnfidit
is financial institution depth and ɛit stands for the error term. The traditional estimations used in equation 6.1 will not
allow us to detect the potential rich foreign direct investment adjustment dynamic. Thus, this study investigates the
dynamic link between financial institution access, financial institution efficiency, financial institution depth and foreign
direct investment through the use of the ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag). The ARDL method is applied in the
present research for the following motives. First of all, this gives us the possibility to control for heterogeneity in the
connection between these variables across regions. Second, this method offers the possibility to control for endogeneity.
Finally, the model eases the estimation of both long-run and short-run effects of financial institution development
indicators on foreign direct investment. With reference to the research of (21), the basic following ARDL (p;q)estimation
will be taken into consideration:
(2)
Where i = 1,2,... N represents the index of the countries, t represents j represents the number of time lags, yit represents
foreign direct investment, xit represents a vector offinancialinstitution access,financialinstitution efficiency andfinancial
institution depth, specific effects are denoted in yit. Consideration of the adjustment coefficient and long-run effects
requires re-framing equation 6.2 into:
(3)
The vector θit is the long-run relationship between the variables, shows the short-run coefficients linking foreign
direct investment to its past values and constructs it.∅i representsthecoefficientof theerrorcorrection,italso measures
the adjustment’ speed of foreign direct investment towards its long-run equilibrium based on changes in financial
institution access, financial institution efficiency, financial institution depth. There is a long-run relationship between
foreign direct investment and the independent variables if ∅i is < 0.
The estimation of equation 6.3 is completed through the use of three diverse dynamicpanel applications:the mean-group
estimator (MG) introduced by Pesaran and Smith (1995),additionally thepooled mean groupestimator(PMG)introduced
by(21)., and finally the dynamic fixed effects estimator (DFE). With the DFE although there is homogeneity on all error
variances and slope coefficients, the intercepts shows difference across groups.(PesaranandSmith,1995)showedthatin
DFE heterogeneity bias can affect the estimated coefficients, later(21) suggest that the Pooled Mean Group (PMG)
estimator can be applied in order to resolve the issues related with the DFE.Thepooledmean-groupimpliesthatthe long-
run parameters are identical for all groups while allowing difference across groups in terms of error variances andshort-
run parameters. For the mean group estimator, the slope coefficients, error variances and intercepts can all differ across
groups.
IV. Empirical Results
4.1. Unit root Results
The application of ARDL estimation requires the determination of order of integration. In this research we use two unit
root tests, namely: the Augmented Dickey-Fuller Fisher (ADF) and the Im, Pesaran and Shin (IPS). Table 3 exhibits the
results.

4.2. Long-and Short-run Effects of financial institution on FDI in Africa as a whole
Table 4 and 5 show the long and short-run effects of financial institutions access, financial institutions efficiency and
financial institutions depth on foreign direct investment. In Table 6, we sunder into five different regions, namely: the
North, Southern, West, East and Central. As mentioned above, the results of table 4 exhibit the short sand long-runeffects
of financial institutions access,financialinstitutions efficiencyandfinancialinstitutionsdepthonforeign direct investment.
In order to complete this task, three dynamic methods are applied, the pooled mean group PMG, the mean group MG and

the dynamic fixed effect DFE. Nevertheless, based on the Hausman test, its efficiency and consistency, over DFE and MG
short-run adjustments may be different across groups when there is restriction on the long-run homogeneity (Kim et al.
2010), this research relies on the PMG. Generally, in the long-run, financial institutions access, efficiency and depth
positively affect foreign direct investment inflow in Africa. Nevertheless, while the coefficient of financial institutions
access is significant for the DFE and PMG estimators it shows insignificantcoefficientforthe MG estimator.Inthelong-run
effects, the coefficient of financial institutions access in the PMG estimator is 0.136 and in DFE estimator is 0.619. This
implies that when African financial institutions access increases by 1 percent, this leads to an increase of 0.136 and 0.619
in foreign direct inflows in Africa.
Beholding financial institutions efficiency, all the coefficients are significant and positive for the PMG, MG and DFE
respectively equal 0.827, 1.042 and 0.441. This outcome suggeststhatin thelong-run,financialinstitutions efficiencyhave
a positive significant impact of foreign direct investment inflows.
In terms of financial institutions depth - foreign direct investment nexus, in the long-run estimation, the PMG shows that
financial institutions development has a positive significant coefficient 0.410 while the MG and DFE estimators show
negative insignificant coefficients. This implies that when financial institutions development increaseby1%thenforeign
direct investment in Africa increases by 0.410%.

All the short-run coefficients show differentphenomenon.Asmentionedearlier,thereisnorestrictionimplyingthatallthe
short-run coefficients will be the similar across countries. The output shows that the relationships between financial
institution access, efficiency and depth and foreign direct investment are all positive but insignificant in the short-run.
However, the MG estimator shows a negative and non-significant coefficient in the relation between financial institution
access and foreign direct investment in the short-run. Consequently, when the short and long-run effects are compared,
the primary general conclusion implies that the relationship between financial institution access, financial institution
efficiency, financial institution development and foreign direct investment in Africa depends on the permanency (long-
run) or temporarily (short-run) of their movements.
4.3. Robustness check
Our results are confronted for alternative explanations of our analysis. Forthispurpose,ourresults areevaluatedthrough
the inclusion of two control variables namely: Inflation and government final expenditure. Table 5 exhibits the outputsof
PMG, MG and DFE estimators using ARDL (2,1,1,1). This output provides additional support to the precedent findings
reported in table 6.4. Moreover, this output corroborate the fact that in the long-run the effect of financial institution
access on foreign direct investment inflow is significantand positivewhere anincreaseof1%offinancialinstitutionaccess
leads to 0.826% increase of foreign direct investment inflow. Just as suggested by table 4,table5suggeststhat inthelong-
run financial institution efficiency has a positive significant impact on foreign direct investment inflow wherean increase
of 1% of financial institution efficiency lead to 0.530% increase in foreign direct investment inflow. Following the same
tendency, financial institution depth shows a positive significant impactonforeign directinvestment where an increaseof
1% of financial institution depth leads to increase 1.164% of foreign direct investment inflow. Furthermore, we find that
the error correction terms shows similar sign in both tables 4 and 5.

4.4. Long-run and short-run effects of financial institution on FDI by Region in Africa
Tables 6.4 and 6.5 established that the impact of financial institutions access, efficiency and depth on foreign direct
investment inflow depends on nature of the permanency or temporarily of their movements, additionally, we wonder if
these relationships differ across regions. Inordertofindresponses,wesunderour sampleinto five regions,namely:North,
South, West, East and Central. Table 6 shows the coefficients of PMG, MG and DFE. Considering the long-run coefficients,
financial institutions access has positive significant impact on foreign direct investment in all regions except the West
where it shows a positive insignificant coefficient. Financial institution efficiency also shows positive significant effecton
foreign direct investment in all regions except Central region where it shows negative non-significant coefficient. For
financial institutions depth, in all regions it affects positively and significantly foreign direct investment , implying that in
the long-run foreign direct investment inflow will increase in Africa when the level of financial institutions depth is high.

Conclusion
This study empirically analyzes the short and long-run effects of financial institutions access, financial institutions
efficiency and financial institution depth on foreigndirectinvestment inflowinAfricaovertheperiod1980-2017.Overthe
MG and DFE estimators, Pooled Mean group (PMG) estimator is retained as the basis of the empirical evidence. Thestudy
establishes The following findings. First of all, in the long-run, financial institutions access,financialinstitutions efficiency
and financial depth have positive and significant impact on foreign direct investment inflow when considering Africaasa
whole. Still considering Africa as a whole, all variables did not show any significant effect on foreign direct investment in
the short-run. In order to evaluate if the relationship between financial institutions access, efficiency, depth and foreign
direct investment is region-specific, we classify the countries depending on their geographicalposition.The sample study
is thus divided into five regions North, South, West, East and Central. The results substantiate that the effect of financial
institution access, efficiency and depth on foreign direct investment varies across the regions. For instance, the effect of
financial institutions access on FDI is positive and significant in the long-run for the North, South, East and Central while
the effect is insignificant for West Africa. Financial institution efficiency havepositivesignificanteffecton FDIin theNorth,
South, West and East while it shows a negative insignificant effect in Central Africa. With regard to financial institution
depth, overall effect is positive and significant in all the regions. In the short-run, financial institutionsaccess andfinancial
institutions efficiency do not show any significant impact on foreign direct investment inflow FDI while financial
institution depth has positive significant effect on FDI in the short-run in all regions excepted in Central Africa.
