Comparative analysis of government spending, external debt, domestic credit to private sector, exchange rate and net investment to non-financial companies

Aipoh, Godwin (2019): Comparative analysis of government spending, external debt, domestic credit to private sector, exchange rate and net investment to non-financial companies.

Abstract

This study examined a comparative analysis of government spending, external debt, domestic credit to private sector, exchange rate and net investment to non-financial companies from 1970 to 2017. The data was secondary sourced from World Development Indicators. The correlation results show a positive association between the variables although a poor connectivity between Government Spending and External debt. External debt doesn’t have a positive relationship with Government spending and it is statistically significant.
