THE IMPACT OF FDI AND EXCHANGE RATE ON GDP IN MENA COUNTRIES: EVIDENCE FROM THE PANEL APPROACH

Mustapha Djaballah

Review of Socio - Economic Perspectives, 2020, vol. 5, issue 4, 109-120

Abstract: This article empirically discusses the possible interactions between the rate of economic growth, the rate of change in inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) and the rate of real equilibrium real exchange, in MENA countries (18 countries) for the period 2000 -2019. The result suggests that there is a positive relationship between financial development and economic growth. The study also documents that inflation and government expenditure have negative impact on economic growth for those selected MENA countries. The paper ends with some policy implications and potential limitations.
