An Empirical analysis of the Economic Growth Relationship between FDI, International Trade, and Remittance in Ghana

ABSTRACT


The purpose of the research is to examine the relationship between Ghana’s FDI inflows, International trade, remittance, and GDP growth from 1990 to 2018. The study employs yearly time series data and employs Ordinary Least Square estimation techniques.The Empirical result reveals that FDI and Remittance inflows are statistically significant and exerts a positive impact on Gross Domestic Product growth in Ghana. Net export has an insignificant negative effect on economic growth.To increase economic growth through the favorable effect of FDI, remittances,and foreign trade, the Government of Ghana should: (1) select investors with afocus 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
