Using sector level data spanning 2000-2014, findings from the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis show that market size (measured by GDP) and labour cost have a significant impact on the inflows of agriculture sector FDI. The results also confirm trade openness and exchange rate to significantly influence services sector FDI. Unexpectedly, none of the variables are found to have significant effect on manufacturing sector FDI. The study recommends that the government should implement strategies that will enhance the growth of Ghana’s GDP, and deregulate the economy to allow more foreign investors into the country. 2019-07-11T04:03:51Z 2019-07-11T04:03:51Z 2019-06 Article International Journal of Business and Technopreneurship, vol.9(2), 2019, pages 113-122 2231-7090 2232-1543 (online) http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/61018 en School of Business Innovation and Technopreneurship, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)
