The purpose of the study was to establish the effects of foreign capital flows on economic growth of Kenya. The study employed a quantitative research design. The target population of this study was Kenya since it is the Center of analysis. Considering that the population is one country, Kenya, secondary data was collected over a period of 25 years from 1993 to 2017. Therefore, the number of observations was X * 25 = 25. The research conducted a census on Kenya using secondary data from Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), Capital Markets Authority (CMA), Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), Central Bank of Kenya, World Bank and United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Data over time was analyzed using a time series model and trend analysis. Model test and correlation analysis were done before conducting regression and univariate regression analysis. The study found that, when external commercial borrowing is increased by one US dollar, annual GDP will increase by 395.990% when all other factors are kept constant. The opposite also applies. But, if external commercial borrowing is zero, annual GDP will decrease by USD 8,151,662,920.94 when all other factors are kept constant. Additionally, when Foreign Portfolio investment is increased by one US dollar, annual GDP will increase by 805.37% when all other factors are kept constant. The opposite also applies. But, if Foreign Portfolio Investment is zero, annual GDP will remain to be USD 25394237979 when all other factors are kept constant. Also, when FDI is increased by one US dollar, annual GDP will increase by 3026.30% when all other factors are kept constant. The opposite also applies. But, if FDI is zero, annual GDP will still increase by USD 18493289187.3 when all other factors are kept constant. Further results revealed that when Non-Resident Kenyan Deposits are increased by one US dollar, annual GDP will increase by 3738.65% when all other factors are kept constant. The opposite also applies. But, if Non-Resident Kenyan Deposits is zero, annual GDP will remain to be USD 4869680695.47 when all other factors are kept constant. The study recommends that the Government pursues policies that will attract and favour net increases in Foreign Direct Investments, Foreign Portfolio Investments, External Commercial Borrowings and Non-Resident Kenyan deposits into the country.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the effect of country- and firm-specific factors on foreign investment in Pakistan.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses time-series data for country-level determinants and uses panel data for 100 listed non-financial companies selected based on market capitalisation from 2005 to 2015.FindingsFindings suggest that the stock market returns and liquidity of the country significantly positively influence the foreign portfolio investment (FPI) in Pakistan. Whereas, economic growth surprisingly is negatively related to foreign portfolio investment. In addition, findings reveal that firm size, financial leverage, dividend yield and global depositary receipts (GDR) have a positive impact on the total foreign investment at firm level. Further, foreign institutional investors prefer to invest in those firms that are large, pay high dividends and issue GDR. Furthermore, findings suggest that foreign direct investors tend to invest in firms that are financially leveraged and have low capital gain yield.Practical implicationsAt the country level, this study recommends that stock market performance, economic growth and foreign reserves of the country should be maintained and improved to attract FPI. At the firm level, this study recommends issuance of global depositary receipts and high dividend payouts for those firms that are interested in institutional investment in Pakistan.Originality/valueTo the best of authors' knowledge, this study is the first that examines the effect of firm-level factors along with country-level factors on foreign investment in Pakistan.

The Relationship

This study examines the relationship between foreign portfolio investment (FPI) and Malaysia’s economic performance. In particular, the study analyses the relationship between FPI and real gross domestic product (GDP) using the widely adopted Granger causality test and the more recent Toda and Yamamoto’s (1995) non-causality test to establish the direction of causation between the two variables. Similar method is also applied on the relationship between volatility of FPI and real GDP. Additionally, the study uses an innovation accounting by simulating variance decompositions and impulse response functions for further inferences. Using quarterly data covering the period from 1991 to 2006, the study finds evidence that economic growth causes changes in the FPI and its volatility and not vice versa.. The findings suggest that economic performance is the major pull factor in attracting FPI into the country. Thus, it must be ensured that the Malaysian economy remains on a healthy and sustainable growth path so as to maintain investor confidence in the economy.

Portfolio Investments

In recent times, foreign portfolio investment inflows have been considered pivotal to sub-Saharan Africa's growth (SSA) as they help enhance liquidity and make a substantial fund available for investment. However, some scholars have stressed that the sustainable inflows of portfolio investments and their impact on growth depend on the extent to which the recipient country can develop its local financial markets. As a result, this chapter aims to determine the moderating role of local financial markets in facilitating the effects of portfolio investments on economic growth in 28 SSA between the period 1995-2018. The study employed the system generalized method of moments (SGMM) and found that portfolio investments positively and significantly impact economic growth. However, the study observes that the interaction between portfolio investments and financial market development is negative and significant, presupposing that the relationship between portfolio investment and economic growth is not contingent on local financial markets.

The Relationship

This study examined the relationship between foreign portfolio investment and economic growth in Nigeria between the periods 1986 to 2017. The study employed the Vector Error Correction model (ECM) and granger causality. Market capitalization, foreign portfolio investment and trade openness were the independent variables while gross domestic product is proxy for economic growth in Nigeria. Findings revealed that of the three study variables, trade openness and market capitalization proved to be significant in promoting economic growth in Nigeria while foreign portfolio investment is negative and insignificant. As such, we recommend that policy makers should endeavour to boost the capital market activities so as to foster capital transactions and subsequently increase economic performance and growth in the nation.
