The Importance Of Foreign Direct Investment In Algeria And Its Impact On Its Trade Balance Using The Ardl Model

Authors : Bouklia Mohamed .

Abstract

This study dealt with the importance of foreign direct investment in Algeria and its impact on its trade balance during the time period of 2003-2018 using the ARDL model. The study concluded that foreign direct investment, gross domestic product and exchange rate have a positive impact on trade balance, and that economic openness has a negative impact on trade balance. Hence, the study recommends diversifying exports by attracting foreign direct investment in the non-oil sectors in order to improve national economy.
