Published By: Policy Analysis Unit Bangladesh Bank | Published Date: September, 01 , 2006

This paper focuses on the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on the sectoral (agriculture, industry and service) growth pattern of Bangladesh economy over the last 11 years, 1995-2005. The research deals with data from secondary sources and estimates the relationship based on Pearson Correlation Co-efficient. The analyses reveal that FDI inflow in the industrial sector does not appear to correlate much with industrial growth, however, it relates better with service sector growth. FDI inflow in service sector is fairly well correlated with the growth in that sector as well as in the industrial sector.
