摘要:Today globalisation is increasing global economic integration and interdependence of world economies through the movement of goods, services, capital flows and new technologies across borders. International trade and foreign direct investment is being considered the vehicle of economic growth in developing countries. FDI stimulates economic growth of developing countries by capital formation, transfer of technology, adding skills of labour, increasing competition in the domestic market and creating new job opportunities. On the other hand, international trade results in more effective production facilities of goods and services through shifting production to those countries which have comparative advantage in producing them. The current research study attempts to analyse the relationship of international trade, foreign direct investment and economic growth in Pakistan’s economic perspective. The study utilizes time series data over the period of 1991 to 2015 to analyse the relationship among the variables. The results of the study clearly show that there is a positive relationship among international trade, foreign direct investment and economic growth in Pakistan’s economic perspective.
