Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Economic Growth in Nigeria

Banking and Finance — 2025, Undergraduate

This study examined the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth in Nigeria. Secondary data on FDI inflows, gross fixed capital formation, and gross domestic product were analysed using regression techniques. The findings revealed that FDI inflows contributed positively to growth through capital formation and technology transfer, although the effect varied across sectors and was muted in periods of instability. The study found that infrastructure deficits and policy inconsistency weakened the growth impact of FDI. It recommends infrastructural investment, policy stability, and deliberate attraction of investment into productive sectors.
