The stationarity test outcome shows that all the variable are found stationary and also the bound test found the variable fit for the long run analysis, since they have long run link. The result of the short run estimated outcome illustrates that political leadership, financial efficiency, trade and urbanization rise the level of investment growth in the country. However, FDI is not significant in explaining investment growth in the nation.
