Background of the Study
FDI inflows are a key component of economic development, influencing various macroeconomic indicators such as GDP, inflation, and consumer income. In Nigeria, FDI can stimulate economic activity and boost GDP by introducing capital, technology, and new business practices (Adeyemi, 2023). At the same time, the inflow of foreign capital can affect inflationary trends, either by increasing demand or by fostering competition that helps control prices (Okoro, 2024). Consumer income is also impacted, as increased FDI typically leads to job creation and higher wages. However, the net effect of FDI on these variables is complex and interdependent, requiring a detailed analysis to understand its overall impact on the economy (Balogun, 2025). This study examines how FDI inflows influence GDP growth, inflation levels, and consumer income, aiming to provide insights into the efficacy of policies designed to attract foreign investment while ensuring macroeconomic stability.
Statement of the Problem
Despite efforts to attract FDI, Nigeria faces challenges in realizing the full economic benefits of foreign investment. Inconsistencies in FDI inflows, coupled with volatile inflation and uneven income distribution, have led to mixed outcomes in GDP growth and consumer income (Adeyemi, 2023). The complex interactions among these variables necessitate an investigation to identify the underlying causes of these disparities and to propose strategies that optimize the positive effects of FDI (Okoro, 2024; Balogun, 2025).
Objectives of the Study
- To determine the impact of FDI inflows on GDP growth.
- To assess how FDI influences inflation trends.
- To evaluate the effect of FDI on consumer income levels.
Research Questions
- How do FDI inflows affect GDP growth in Nigeria?
- What is the relationship between FDI and inflation?
- How does FDI impact consumer income levels?
Research Hypotheses
- FDI inflows have a positive impact on GDP growth.
- FDI inflows help moderate inflationary pressures.
- FDI inflows contribute to higher consumer income levels.
Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it investigates the multifaceted impact of FDI inflows on GDP, inflation, and consumer income in Nigeria. The findings will assist policymakers in designing strategies that attract sustainable foreign investment while enhancing overall economic well-being (Adeyemi, 2023; Okoro, 2024; Balogun, 2025).
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study is limited to assessing the effect of FDI inflows on GDP, inflation, and consumer income in Nigeria. It focuses solely on these macroeconomic indicators without addressing additional external factors.
Definitions of Terms
