Zil e Huma, Zia-ur-Rehman Rao, and Ahmad Usman of the University of the Punjab’s Hailey College of Commerce embark on a compelling investigation into the intricate relationship between ease of doing business indicators, foreign direct investment (FDI), and exports in the dynamic landscape of South Asian economies.
Capital migration has become a distinguishing element of the global economy as globalization has expanded. Foreign direct investment has increased significantly during the last two to three decades. The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of ease of doing business measures on FDI and exports, as well as their interaction with macroeconomic drivers.
The study spans 2006 to 2020 and focuses on South Asian rising markets such as Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan. The research tool used in the paper is O.L.S. regression, which provides a rigorous examination of changes in ease of doing business metrics, foreign direct investment, and macroeconomic drivers.
This study is extremely important for South Asian emerging countries since it provides insights into the regulatory elements that impact the business climate. The study gives vital insights to attracting foreign direct investment and fostering advances in the export industry by unravelling the intricacies of ease of doing business metrics.
Finally, this report serves as a road map for South Asian governments, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders, providing a sophisticated knowledge of the variables impacting their growth trajectory in the global economic environment.
