Resumen

This paper investigates the impact of foreign-direct investment (FDI) and financial development on economic growth in Malaysia over the period of 1975-2014.

This implies that well-developed financial sectors lead to further and facilitate FDI spillover and hence yield economic growth, particularly for the case of Malaysia.Keywords: Financial development, economic growth, FDI, PCA, ARDLJEL Classifications: F23, O16, O40
