Journal Title: International Journal of Business and Applied Social Science - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
The study examined the impact of foreign portfolio investment and Foreign Direct Investment on the performance of the Nigerian Economy over a period of 1980-2017. The data used were purely secondary sourced from the central Bank of Nigeria statistical Bulletin and World Bank Development indicator. The ordinary least square (OLS) regression analysis was used. The findings revealed that the performance of the Nigerian Economy is directly related to inflow of foreign portfolio investment and foreign direct investment and it is also statistically significant at 5% level. This means that a good performance of the economy depends on the inflow of these variables, or that the variables serve as an engine of economic growth. The study therefore recommends that policy makers should work on improvement of economic incentives capable of mobilizing external resources to the country to engender macroeconomic stability. A stable economy will attract foreign investment and this result to increased inflow of foreign capital.
