An Empirical Examination of FDI, International Trade, and Remittance Relationship on Ghana Economic Growth

ABSTRACT


The goal of the study is to analyze the relationship between FDI,international trade, inflows of remittances, and economic growth in Ghana from 1990 to 2018. The study uses yearly time series data and employs Ordinary Least Square estimation techniques.The Empirical result reveals that FDI and Remittance inflows are statistically significant and have a positive influence on Gross Domestic Product growth in Ghana. Net export has an insignificant negative effect on economic growth.To boost the economic growth impact of FDI, remittances, and foreign trade,the Government of Ghana should: (1) select investors with a focus on quality,high technology, and efficiency: (2) continue to implement export-oriented policies; (3) add value to the export products and control certain types of imported goods; (4) channel remittance inflow into economic development and reduce transaction cost involved.

Keywords: Remittances, FDI, International Trade, GDP Growth, Ghana
