Abstract

This article analyzes the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the fragilities observed in Africa. Five dimensions of fragility are considered : economic, political, social, security, and environmental. Based on a sample of 51 countries, we estimate a panel data model using the method of system generalized method of moments, the robustness of which is tested by ordinary least squares over the period 1995 ? 2016. We obtain two main results : (i) FDI increases overall fragility in Africa ; (ii) FDI increases economic, political, social, security, and environmental fragility. Strengthening the regulation on FDI by setting up a traceability system would be significant in supporting household consumption, private investment, and transactional activity.
