During the past twenty years, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been the most efficient source of external capital for Least Developed Countries (LDCs). Some reasons behind that include its capacity to influence economic growth and improve productivity through technology transfer from developed economies, and its capacity to sustain in times of economic crisis.
This research objective is to 1) Analyze the impact of FDI in the Least Developed Countries during the past two decades. 2) Identify the key determinants factor on of FDI in the least Developed Countries. 3) Analyze the impact of FDI on Haiti’s economy over the period of 1990-2018.
