ABSTRACT
This study examined the impact ofForeign
Portfolio Investment (FPI) on economic growth of Nigeria. FPI flows was
measured by both portfolio inflows and portfolio outflows while economic growth
was measured by real gross domestic product. The study used annual data
covering the periods 1986 to 2018 and the Johansen cointegration and Vector
Error Correction (VECM) approach was employed. The study observed that FPI
inflow had positive and significant impact on economic growth, while FPI
outflows had negative and significant impact on economic growth in Nigeria. It
was also found that the collective impact ofFPI inflows and FPI outflows was
high as shown by the adjusted R-squared of 0.804241 which implied that
approximately 80.42% of the total variations in RGDP was explained by joint
impact FPI inflows and FPI outflows. Similarly, the collective impact of the
explanatory variables was significantfollowing the p-value (0.000000) which was
less than 0.05. Consequently, the study recommendedpolicies that will
attractforeign portfolio investmentshould be pursued in order to enhance
economic growth.
