“…Inflation is a macroeconomic indicator that investors consider investing. Azam (2010), Anyanwu (2011), Wadhwa & Reddy S (2011), and Demirhan & Masca (2008) found that inflation can reduce incoming foreign direct investment statistically. If the general price increase continues, it will have an impact on the decline in people's purchasing power and increase the risk of business failure so that domestic investment becomes less attractive to investors.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of political stability and the Corruption Perception Index on Foreign Direct Investment in Southeast Asia. This study uses secondary data obtained from the World Bank, and Transparency International. The method used is a panel data model with a total cross-section of 10 (ten) countries in Southeast Asia and a time-series in 2010-2019. The research was conducted in 10 countries due to Timor-Leste because the country officially became a member of Southeast Asia in 2011.

“…Several factors cause this fluctuation of FDI inflows, including macroeconomic variables. The economist's eyes are targeting macroeconomic variables such as inflation, growth rate, unemployment, exchange rate, interest rate, export and import, the balance of payment, stock market and tax levels as they influence the market behaviours of the economy (Anyanwu & John, 2021). The justification for these variables is that they share common behaviour in the entire cycle of business in the economy, under which FDI is within.…”

This study assessed the effect of macroeconomic variables on foreign direct investment inflows to Tanzania for the period 1970-2021. To do this, the time series data were analysed by the Co-integration test for the long-run relationship and the ECM model for the short-and long-run effects. The co-integration test suggests that there is a long-run relationship between government expenditure, inflation rate, external debt, interest rate, exchange rate, and foreign investment inflows. The results of the ECM reveal that government expenditure has a significant positive effect on short and long-run FDI inflows, while the inflation rate has a negative and statistically significant effect on short and long-run FDI inflows. Moreover, the interest rate, exchange rate and external debt variables have a negligible effect on FDI inflows. On the other hand, the proxy variable for government regime and economic reforms before 2015 revealed a positive and statistically significant effect on FDI inflows at 1% in the short run and 10% in the long run, while it had a negative and statistically insignificant impact on FDI inflows after 2015. The study recommends that the government should adequately allocate resources to economic activities to stimulate macro variables, which will attract more FDI and enhance steady economic growth in the short and long-run.
