The Effects of FDI on Economic Growth and Export Performance of Bangladesh
Keywords:
FDI, Economic Growth, Export, SDGs, BangladeshAbstract
Bangladesh is a rising star in the South Asian region, performing significantly better on different economic metrics, but substantial industrialization is required to keep it going. The greatest approach to meet its development needs is through foreign direct investment (FDI). This study's objective is to assess how FDI has affected Bangladesh's export performance and economic growth. To achieve the goal, statistical analyses of the links between Bangladesh's economic growth rate, export performance, and FDI inflow were done for this article. A 20-year data set from 2001 to 2020 was evaluated for the study using simple linear regression analysis. According to the conclusions of the study, there is a constructive connection between successful exports and the expansion of the Bangladeshi economy. Therefore, the policy framework of the Bangladesh Government should be more flexible and lucrative to attract continuous FDI inflow in Bangladesh.
