Abstract

This study investigates the macroeconomic determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI), focusing on theeffects of interest rates, inflation, and gross domestic product (GDP) on FDI inflows. Using a log-linear Ordinary LeastSquares (OLS) regression model and a dataset comprising 33 annual observations, we examine the relationship betweenthe natural logarithms of FDI, interest rates, inflation, and GDP. The results indicate that inflation has a statisticallysignificant and negative impact on FDI, suggesting that rising inflation discourages investment inflows. Interest ratesexhibit a positive and marginally significant effect on FDI, while GDP does not show a statistically meaningful relationship.Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) and Belsley-Kuh-Welsch diagnostics suggest moderate multicollinearity, particularlyinvolving GDP, but not at a level requiring model revision. These findings highlight the sensitivity of FDI to macroeconomicstability, especially inflation, and underscore the importance of maintaining a favorable investment climate
