Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment Inflow to ECOWAS Member Countries

Abstract The benefits of FDI to host economies can never be overlooked by policymakers in their quest to formulate a policy driven. FDI aids the recipient economies through solving the savings deficiency problems, introduction of new technology, bridging revenue gap and addressing issues relating to management and many others. The study sought to investigate the determinants of FDI inflow into ECOWAS member countries using panel data from the time period of 1990-2017. The study specifically aimed to investigate the differential effect of external debt, political stability, trade openness and inflation on FDI flow to ECOWAS member countries in the long run and also to investigate whether the variables of concern jointly influence FDI into ECOWAS member countries in the long run. The countries of interest were Ghana, Togo, Nigeria, Niger, Cape Verde, Cote d’Ivoire, Senegal, Benin, Burkina Faso and Mali. The results based on panel Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (PDOLS) show that trade openness and political stability have a positive and significant effect on FDI. Inflation and external debt do not have a significant effect on FDI inflows. Also, trade openness, political stability, inflation and external debt do not jointly influence FDI.
