Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This study examines the factors influencing the inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) to the CIS countries in the period from 2012 to 2021. The analysis focuses on macroeconomic variables affecting FDI such as: GDP growth, consumer price index (CPI), trade openness, political stability, ESG indicators and return on equity (ROE). This study uses FGLS regression, which shows that GDP growth, trade openness and consumer price index affect FDI inflows. GDP growth and trade openness positively correlate with FDI, unlike CPI. However, variables such as political stability, ESG indicators and return on equity were found to be statistically insignificant in this context. This study highlights the importance of economic growth and trade liberalization. Recommendations for further research to optimize FDI inflows are also discussed.
