Abstract: One of the main areas in developing the economy of any country is the planning of the foreign direct investment (FDI) to be employed in a proper manner as a very crucial tool in development. FDI has many effects; and one of them is flourishing the ICT sector as a vital sector which includes four sub-sectors according to the World Bank (High-Technology Exports, ICT Goods Exports, ICT GoodsImports, ICT Service Exports).The authors try to test the effect of FDI on flourishing ICT sub-sectors as one of the drivers of economy development, the proper employment of FDI is an echo of healthy, well planning of it. The results show that there is ad-hoc planning of FDI and there should be a clearer view of how to exploit FDI in economy development and especially in ICT.
