Abstract: Foreign direct investment (FDI) plays a major role in growth and development of the economy, and to support numerous surveys has been conducted showing the change of FDI in recent years (UNCTAD, 2018). The governments of respective countries are also giving benefits to industries bringing heavy amount of FDI to the economy. To analyse factors affecting FDI, independent factors namely GDP, political instability and exports are taken into consideration. From traditional point of view FDI rate was predicted from GDP and exports of the economy (Dunning, 1980, 2001; Hymer, 1976), in our study we introduced political instability, and brings a new factor in the existing analysis which attempts to predict an economy's FDI status in a more efficient manner over a sample of 35 countries. Introducing discriminant analysis to know the statistical significance of FDI to be high/low in a country and later we performed logistic regression analysis to cross verify the obtained results.
