This study examines the long-term relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI), gross national income (GNI) per capita, exports and economic growth in Zambia from 1994 to 2023. The primary objective is to analyse the impact of FDI, GNI per capita and exports on Zambia's economic growth. FDI is recognised as a catalyst for economic development, facili-tating technology transfer, capital formation and employment creation. Despite Zambia's his-torical dependence on copper exports and high government expenditure, economic liberalisa-tion since 1991 has aimed to diversify the economy and attract FDI. Using secondary data from the World Bank and regression analysis using Jamovi software, the study assesses the impact of FDI and other macroeconomic factors on Zambia's GDP. The results show that while FDI contributes positively to economic growth, GNI per capita and exports have a more significant impact. In particular, a unit increase in FDI is associated with a moderate but significant increase in GDP, highlighting its role in productivity and sectoral development. The study highlights the need for Zambia to strengthen its institutional framework, improve infrastructure and invest in human capital to sustain FDI inflows and reduce economic vul-nerabilities. Diversifying investment beyond natural resources is critical for long-term growth and resilience. Future research should further explore sectoral and regional dynamics with disaggregated data and qualitative methods to capture detailed impacts on employment, in-come distribution and environmental sustainability. This study contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive analysis of the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Zambia's economic development, and by providing evidence-based insights for policymakers to opti-mise economic strategies and attract diversified investment for sustainable development. |

Este estudio examina la relación a largo plazo entre la inversión extranjera directa (IED), la renta nacional bruta (RNB) per cápita, las exportaciones y el crecimiento económico en Zambia desde 1994 hasta 2023. El objetivo principal es analizar el impacto de la IED, la RNB per cápita y las exportaciones en el crecimiento económico de Zambia. La IED está reconocida como catalizador del desarrollo económico, ya que facilita la transferencia de tecnología, la formación de capital y la creación de empleo. A pesar de la dependencia histórica de Zambia de las exportaciones de cobre y del elevado gasto público, la liberalización económica desde 1991 ha tenido como objetivo diversificar la economía y atraer IED. Utilizando datos secundarios del Banco Mundial y análisis de regresión con el programa Jamovi, el estudio evalúa el impacto de la IED y otros factores macroeconómicos en el PIB de Zambia. Los resultados muestran que, si bien la IED contribuye positivamente al crecimiento económico, la RNB per cápita y las exportaciones tienen un impacto más significativo. En concreto, un aumento unitario de la IED se asocia a un incremento moderado pero significativo del PIB, lo que pone de relieve su papel en la productividad y el desarrollo sectorial. El estudio subraya la necesidad de que Zambia refuerce su marco institucional, mejore las infraestructuras e invierta en capital humano para mantener las entradas de IED y reducir las vulnerabilidades económicas. Diversificar la inversión más allá de los recursos naturales es fundamental para el crecimiento y la resistencia a largo plazo. La investigación futura debería explorar más a fondo las dinámicas sectoriales y regionales con datos desglosados y métodos cualitativos para captar los impactos detallados sobre el empleo, la distribución de los ingresos y la sostenibilidad medioambiental. Este estudio contribuye a la bibliografía al proporcionar un análisis exhaustivo del papel de la inversión extranjera directa (IED) en el desarrollo económico de Zambia, y al aportar ideas basadas en pruebas para que los responsables políticos optimicen las estrategias económicas y atraigan inversiones diversificadas para el desarrollo sostenible.
