Abstract

This paper empirically studies the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on financial development from 37 Asian nations covering the period 2001-2020 from a panel data set. The findings show that FDI has a positive impact on financial development, implying the spill-over effect of FDI in Asian financial markets. Furthermore, this study discovers that trade openness and population growth have a positive impact on financial development, while inflation affects financial development negatively. However, it is found that there is no relationship between government consumption and financial development in the Asian context.
