dc.description | In this session, the committee investigates the key determinants of net FDI inflows in Africa using recent panel data of 31 countries for 26 years (1984-2009). Adopting both baselines static and dynamic panel data models provide evidence that market size, past levels of inward FDI, corruption, domestic credit, the share of oil in exports, and religious tension risk are significant drivers of inward FDI in Africa. Domestic bank credit is instrumental to FDI inflows, but only in the presence of quality bureaucracy. To attract FDI into the continent, besides policies to expand markets through regional integration, credible institutional policy reforms are urgently needed to improve economic governance and political stability, particularly by enhancing the quality of civil services and combating corruption and religious tensions. | en |
