FINANCE – BANKING CODE: 7340201 LECTURER: Ph.D NGUYEN DUY LINH Ho Chi Minh City, the year of 2022 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Straightforwardly, foreign direct investment in developing countries has continuously risen and it now plays a critical role in the prosperity of host countries As a result, research into the determinants that influence foreign direct investment seems to be more urgent than ever The objective of this thesis is to investigate the determinants of FDI inwards attraction in seven countries of the Association of Southeast Asia Nations by using a panel data approach This thesis examines a sample of specific countries of ASEAN in the period from 2005 and 2021, estimating variables which are market size, foreign exchange rate, labor salaries, infrastructural development, economic openness, inflation rate, and financial development (explained in more detail below) by using Fixed Effects Model approach Empirical results indicate that the variables of market size, foreign exchange rate, labor salaries, and economic openness have an impact on FDI inflows Besides, this thesis has not yet found the influence of infrastructural development, inflation rate, and financial development on abroad capital flows Also, the author has not studied the backward effect of FDI inwards on the aforementioned factors which is a drawback of this thesis and needs to shed light on other research in the future Keywords: foreign direct investment, exchange rate, market size, trade openness ii GUARANTEE This thesis is my own research work which I did under the supervision of Dr Nguyen Duy Linh In addition, the data and research conclusions presented in this thesis are completely truthful To the best of my knowledge, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by other people except where the reference is made in the thesis itself Nguyen Khanh Duy ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The graduate thesis is a synthesis of the knowledge gained during the fouryear study course at the Banking University of Ho Chi Minh City In this process, I have established a valuable knowledge foundation as a result of experiencing teaching at the university With that being said, I was conscientiously equipped to conduct this thesis Although I possess the required knowledge to carry out the thesis, I still have deficiencies that need to be pointed out and adjusted Were there no assistance coming from teachers and friends, I would never be able to undertake this thesis promptly Hence, this part is dedicated to expressing my gratitude towards every individual involved in helping me to conduct the thesis First and foremost, I would like to wholeheartedly appreciate Dr Nguyen Duy Linh for helping me to formulate a categorical timetable to complete the thesis step by step Additionally, I was also accompanied by his expertise in adjusting the layout of the thesis objectively and comprehensively Therefore, I would like to express my appreciation to him for providing sincere feedback to steer me in the right direction in accomplishing my thesis adequately I wish his blissful health to continue to mentor and achieve the desired objectives in the near future I would also like to express my genuine thanks to the teachers who are lecturing at Banking University of Ho Chi Minh City During the learning process, with sophisticated and state-of-the-art teaching methods, the teachers were able to convey essential knowledge to me, as well as other students Thanks to this, my knowledge base has been further consolidated to create a solid academic foundation to bolster this crucial thesis to bear fruit TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY i GUARANTEE ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT iii TABLE OF CONTENTS iv LIST OF TABLES vii LIST OF FIGURES vii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS viii
