Overview

Empirical analysis shows FDI inflows do not affect economic growth in South Africa, indicating need for export strategy.

Key Points

  • Economic growth and exports have a unidirectional causal relationship, where increased exports lead to higher growth.
  • The Johansen cointegration test and Vector Error Correction Model revealed no significant relationship between FDI inflows and economic growth.
  • Higher real exchange rates are associated with greater economic growth in South Africa, demonstrating interconnected economic factors.
  • The study emphasizes the need for a standardized export agency to enhance output quality and strengthen export strategies.
