Background of the Study:
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays a pivotal role in shaping key macroeconomic indicators such as GDP, consumer prices, and income levels. In Nigeria, increased FDI is often viewed as a catalyst for economic modernization, technological advancement, and job creation, all of which are expected to drive GDP growth and elevate income levels (Akinyele, 2023). However, the impact of FDI on consumer prices is not always straightforward; while FDI can enhance production efficiency and reduce costs, it may also lead to increased demand that drives prices upward. Recent fiscal and monetary reforms have sought to create an environment where FDI can yield broad-based benefits without triggering adverse inflationary effects. This study investigates the multifaceted impact of FDI inflows on national GDP, consumer prices, and income levels, drawing on recent empirical evidence to clarify these relationships. Through comprehensive data analysis and econometric modeling, the research aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how FDI contributes to economic development and social welfare in Nigeria (Babatunde, 2024; Chinaza, 2025).
Statement of the Problem:
Although FDI is generally associated with economic progress, Nigeria continues to experience challenges in translating foreign investments into broad-based economic benefits. While GDP growth and rising income levels are expected outcomes, the impact on consumer prices has been mixed, with inflation sometimes offsetting the positive effects of FDI. This complex relationship creates uncertainty regarding the overall contribution of FDI to economic stability and equitable growth, necessitating an in-depth investigation (Ibrahim, 2023).
Objectives of the Study:
- To assess the effect of FDI inflows on Nigeria’s GDP growth.
- To analyze the impact of FDI on consumer prices.
- To evaluate how FDI influences income levels across different socio-economic groups.
Research Questions:
- How do FDI inflows affect national GDP growth in Nigeria?
- What is the relationship between FDI and consumer price changes?
- How does FDI contribute to variations in income levels?
Research Hypotheses:
- H1: FDI inflows have a positive impact on GDP growth in Nigeria.
- H2: FDI positively influences consumer prices through increased demand pressures.
- H3: FDI contributes to higher income levels when combined with supportive domestic policies.
Significance of the Study:
This study is significant as it provides an integrated analysis of how FDI influences key economic indicators in Nigeria. The insights gained will help policymakers optimize strategies to attract FDI while balancing its effects on inflation and income distribution, ultimately promoting sustainable economic development and social welfare (Okeke, 2024).
Scope and Limitations of the Study:
The study is limited to investigating the impact of FDI on national GDP, consumer prices, and income levels in Nigeria and does not include external global economic influences.
Definitions of Terms:
• FDI Inflows: The amount of foreign capital entering Nigeria.
• Consumer Prices: The general price level of goods and services.
• Income Levels: The distribution of earnings among the population.
