This study explores the influence of key macroeconomic factors on the annual growth of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Singapore from 2000 to 2024. By applying a linear regression model, the research evaluates how changes in exchange rates, inflation, interest rates, and trade openness impact FDI performance. The findings indicate that inflation growth has a consistently strong and positive effect on FDI, suggesting that foreign investors respond favorably to expanding economic activity. Trade openness and interest rates also show positive associations, though their effects are less pronounced. In contrast, exchange rate growth exhibits a negative relationship with FDI, implying that currency volatility or appreciation may deter investment inflows. Overall, the results highlight the importance of maintaining macroeconomic stability to support sustained foreign investment. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of the economic conditions that foster or hinder FDI and offers practical insights for policymakers seeking to enhance Singapore’s position as a leading investment destination.
