Abstract

The fundamental inquiry of this paper is to advance the theory of Investment in relation to developing countries, and its effect on sustainable economic growth. The study thereby places emphasis on the theoretical perspective and empirical shreds of evidence of the Capital market structural patterns, which deduces that modern economic growth is highly dependent on the extent of economic financialization, commonly defined as capital stock of sovereign nations, industrialization and technological advancement. Therefore, the theorization of this paper, seek to establish the feasible mechanism for investment attraction into a fragile economy, operating within a global competitive arena, to increase the depth of its financial market, when there is an encumbrance on the effective Central Bank functioning towards economic growth trajectory.
