Tetteh, Mavis

This thesis seeks to investigates the effects of FDI on the Ghana’s gross domestic product advancement. The study applied the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model using data from the World Bank from 1990 to 2021. The Johansen cointegration test indicated a prolong persistent association between the variables. The Collinearity test using the BKW indicates no existence of perfect combination of the explanatory variables. However, the empirical findings displayed that in the long run FDI had no significant effect on the GDP expansion in Ghana whereas there was a positive short-term influence. The study entreats the government and GIPC to continue to strengthen the measures that help to attract FDIs to Ghana and focus on creating a enabling environment for these investments to strive and yield positive economic growth impact in the long run as well.
