Methodology & Design
This research was literature based study, where the data was collected from secondary
sources. The sample size of this study was past 30 years data. Deductive approach was used
for this study. It was quantitative approach of research because the researcher collects data
through State Bank of Pakistan, World Bank, Pakistan Bureau of Statistics & Economic
Survey.
Findings
The findings revealed that economic growth is significantly linked with FDI, interest rate and
inflation rate and during the Covid-19 all these factors were affected and it also impacts the
economy and economic growth of Pakistan.
Limitations
While studying the impact of inflation, interest rates, and foreign direct investment on
Pakistan's GDP as a measure of economic growth, the study encountered several limitations.
The first and most significant limitation encountered was a time constraint; the time allotted
was very short in order to thoroughly analyze the thirty years of data. Other constraints
include locating reliable and authentic data to support the study's contents.
Recommendations
I recommend Future researchers can try to incorporate other variables such as GNP,
entrepreneurship, capital equipment, and natural resources to determine the impact on
economic growth. Concerning the pre and post Covid-19 effects on economic growth, the
research can also incorporate import and export variables separately to determine the impact
on economic growth.
