This result concurred with the findings by Yohanna (2013) who found that the underdeveloped financial sector was negatively affected on FDI inflows.

“…The GDP, a parameter representing market size, also provides attraction to foreign investors who prefer market-seeking in order to locate their production site to the host countries. The parameter however, is not significantly related to FDI inflows in the ASEAN-5 countries (in long-run estimation) in contradiction to findings by Yohanna (2013).

“…Marr (1997) introduced a list of the critical determinants of FDI inflows, including market size, trade openness, labour cost and other incentives.
