Abstract

Foreign direct investment companies aim to achieve better investment opportunities in developing countries with limited financial resources and in such a way as to increase the value of their manufactured exports and rapid growth rates on the basis of expanding productive capacities based on the growth in the rate of foreign investment produced for this type of exports. Our study was based on the hypothesis that foreign direct investment contributes to raising the growth rate of manufactured exports in developing countries. A number of these countries were selected, including Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan, And it was based on time series data in the interpretation of the phenomenon under study, and in this study was reached a number of conclusions, the most important of which:- Foreign direct investment (FDI) is one of the most important means by which the value of manufactured exports is increased in the sample countries.The main recommendations are:- Adopting rational macroeconomic policies that attract as many foreign direct investment companies as possible to the sample countries.
