Further, the effects of the determinants on Foreign Direct Investment were seen to be heavily moderated by government policies and democracy index. The study suggested that institutions be strengthened (in terms of credit risk management, financial structure, and corporate governance/management efficiency), that the government pursue expansionary policies to spur economic growth, that foreign direct investment in Ghana becomes attractive, and that the volume of exports be increased by further opening up the Ghanaian economy. | |
