The contribution of foreign direct investment (FDI) to economic growth has been
debated quite extensively in the literature. This debate has focused on the channels
through which FDI may help to raise growth in recipient countries. In particular, it has
been discussed to what extent FDI may enhance technological change through spill
over effects of knowledge and new capital goods. This study sought to achieve two
objectives: examine the trend of FDI, financial market development, and economic
growth in Kenya and to establish the relationship between FDI, financial market
development, and economic growth in Kenya.
The study used inferential research design to find out the relationship between
independent variables and dependent variables of the study. Secondary data was used
in this study. The data was analysed using descriptive analysis and multiple regression
analysis.
