Description In developing countries there is shortage of resources as well as capital, these countries need more capital for development so FDI in these countries is more attractive. The present paper analyzes the determinants of FDI as well as their linkages with FDI. In this paper we consider that market size, inflation, return on investment, trade openness and external debt explain the FDI flows. The market size and return on investment is positive impact on the FDI but trade openness, inflation and external debts are negatively affected FDI. There are four variables (market size, return on investment are positively significant but external debt and inflation is negatively significant) are significant and one variable trade openness is negatively insignificant. Our paper’s main focus is that policies attract the FDI in short run and long run in Malaysia.
