“…This is due to the reason that there is a constant short-term fluctuation in Indonesian inflation, hence does not affect the foreign investors to invest in Indonesia. This finding is in accordance with the study done which stated that inflation does not affect the foreign direct investment [16]; [21]. However, this finding is contradictory with [15]; [19].…”

The objective of this research is to investigate the influence of macroeconomic factors such as market size, labor cost, interest rate, exchange rate, trade openness, and inflation to the foreign direct investment in Indonesia. This research uses a quantitative approach with time series data, quarterly from 2006 to 2019. The data is processed using SPSS Statistics 23 software, specifically linear regression analysis method and passed the classical assumption test. Results show that there is a partially significant relationship between market size, labor cost, interest rate, exchange rate, and trade openness to the foreign direct investment, meanwhile inflation does not significantly affect the foreign direct investment. These findings hopefully can help the government to make wiser policies to increase the foreign direct investment.

“…It is argued that foreign institutional investors choose to buy shares in big companies, distribute high dividends, issue global depository receipts and invest in firms that are financially leveraged and have low capital gain yield (Ullah and Tahir, 2020). As shown by Chung and Zhang (2011), corporate governance considerations are less likely to affect the investment decisions of non-institutional investors because they are less likely to actively monitor the firms in which they invest, and they are not subject to the same strict fiduciary responsibilities as institutional investors.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine whether board governance mechanisms and ownership structure play a role in foreign investors’ decisions when buying shares in Saudi listed companies Design/methodology/approach Foreign investment in the Saudi capital market started in 2015 and reached a peak in 2019, with corporate governance regulations having been updated in 2017. The authors tested the proposed relationships using hand collected data for all Saudi non-financial firms in 2019. Findings This study found that it does not play a role in attracting foreign investment in the Saudi capital market. Foreign investors also seem to avoid firms with concentrated ownership that either have high government or director ownership; however, accounting and market variables show significant impact on foreign investors' decisions. The outcomes of this study provide empirical evidence that current foreign investors in the Saudi stock market do not place enough merit on board governance and their investment decisions tend to depend on share performance. Thus, the results show that the current governance changes and capital market regulations in Saudi Arabia may not have been sufficient to stimulate the inflow of institutional foreign investment to the country to date, but rather they have attracted individual retail foreign investors. Originality/value This empirical study is one of only a small number of studies to investigate the impact of internal corporate governance on foreign ownership in developing countries and the first in the Saudi context. In fact, most previous governance research in Saudi Arabia focused on how board governance and ownership structure influences firm performance. A review of the prior studies found that only Badawi et al. (2019) examined the determinants of foreign ownership among Saudi listed firms. Thus, the present investigation extends that study by examining the role of board governance in attracting foreign investors.

Poverty is a serious issue that is hard to ignore in many Indonesian provinces, especially the province of Central Java. This study uses secondary data in the form of a datapanel with cross-section 35 districts / cities and time series for 6 years to measure four independent variables—the city minimum wage (UMK), open unemployment, the human development index (HDI), and foreign investment—and one dependent variable—the poverty variable (Y). The goal is to determine the factors that affect poverty in the province of Central Java. This study's data analysis technique is panel data regression with a Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach, which is handled with version 12 eviews. Because the District Minimum Wage (UMK) variable had a probability value of 0.0001 < 0.05 and a coefficient value of -5.73000, the study's findings demonstrated that it had a negative and substantial impact on poverty. With a prob value, the Open Unemployment variable statistically significantly and favorably affects poverty. 0.0000 less than 0.05. Furthermore, because the HDI variable has a prob value, research has demonstrated that it significantly and negatively affects poverty. the HDI's ability to lower the number of people living in poverty (0.0008 < 0.05). However, because the Foreign Investment variable has a low value, it was unable to demonstrate that it had an impact on poverty. The results indicated that the poverty rate was unaffected by the amount of foreign direct investment, with 0.7696 > 0.05. The study's overall findings demonstrate that 56.8% of poverty can be described by the four independent factors, with the remaining 43.2 percent being explained by variables not included in the research model.
