Abstract

The study investigates the effect of external debt on economic growth in Jordan by using annual data for the period (2010-2017) by using external debt as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) as an independent variable, and GDP growth rate (A proxy for economic growth) as a dependent variable. The study starts with theoretical literature for the impact of external debt on economic growth, then empirical literature for previous studies that analyze the same relationship, after that analyzing the impact of external debt on economic growth in Jordan during the period (2010-2017). The study finds the same conclusion as previous studies that there is a negative and significant impact of external debt on economic growth during the study period, and recommends relying on other financing methods like foreign direct investment.
