The present paper investigates the effect of poverty on foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in developing countries. It complements the important extant literature on the effect of FDI inflows on poverty by examining the issue the other way around. The analysis is conducted using a sample of 117 countries over the period 1980–2017, and the two-step system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) technique. It has relied on two indicators of poverty, namely poverty headcount ratio and poverty gap. The findings indicate that over the full sample, poverty influences negatively FDI inflows, including through its adverse effect on human capital (that is, both education and health). Unsurprisingly, low-income countries (considered as poorest countries) experience a higher negative effect of poverty on FDI inflows than other countries. On another note, poverty reduces FDI inflows to countries that restrict trade policies or experience lower level of trade openness, as well as to countries that experience a high degree of export product concentration. The paper discusses the implications of these findings.

This study investigates monetary policy and capital flow implications on economic growth in emerging economies so-called BRICS countries between 2001 and 2015. The causality results revealed a unidirectional causality from foreign direct investment and broad money to total reserves, real GDP per capita and broad money to total reserves, broad money to total reserves and real interest rates as a percentage, foreign direct investment and commercial bank and another lending, total changes in external debt stock and commercial bank and another lending, foreign direct investments and real interest rates as a percentage, foreign direct investment and domestic credit provided by the financial sector, and domestic credit provided by the financial sector and real GDP per capita. A bidirectional causality holds for domestic credit provided by the financial sector and broad money to total reserves, and real interest rates as a percentage and commercial bank and another lending. The results suggest that policies should include restrictions on capital flows, targeted monetary policy for both money supply and interest rates, an external debt ceiling, broadening financial regulations, and domestic institutional strengthening.
