THE INFLUENCE OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT (FDI) AND THE EXPORT ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN ASEAN COUNTRIES FROM 2018-2023 VIEWED FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SHARIA ECONOMIC
Abstract
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and exports are key factors in driving
economic growth in ASEAN countries. FDI plays a crucial role in increasing capital
inflows, facilitating technology transfer, and accelerating domestic industrial
development by enhancing productivity and creating job opportunities. On the other
hand, exports serve as a growth engine by increasing national income, expanding
markets for local products, and strengthening trade balance stability. This study
analyzes the relationship between FDI, exports, and economic growth in ASEAN
from 2018 to 2023 using an empirical approach from the perspective of Islamic
economics. It adopts a quantitative method with panel data regression analysis to
examine this relationship, utilizing data from 10 ASEAN member countries over
the 2018-2023 period. The primary data sources include official publications from
the IMF, World Bank, and ASEAN. The analyzed data encompass FDI indicators,
exports, and economic growth, with E-Views 12 software used to assess the
simultaneous relationship among these variables. The study aims to examine the
relationship between FDI, exports, and economic growth in ASEAN using a
quantitative approach. The findings indicate that FDI has a significant impact on
economic growth, particularly in countries with open investment policies and strong
macroeconomic stability. Meanwhile, exports contribute positively but do not have
a significant influence on ASEAN’s economic growth. However, they can enhance
industrial competitiveness and open broader opportunities for international trade.
Nevertheless, challenges remain, such as dependency on specific sectors, regulatory
barriers, and global economic fluctuations, which may affect the effectiveness of
FDI and exports in driving economic growth. Therefore, policies that support
foreign investment, enhance export competitiveness, and strengthen infrastructure
are needed to ensure sustainable economic growth in ASEAN. With the right
strategic measures, FDI and exports can continue to be the main pillars in
accelerating regional economic development amid increasingly intense global
competition
