dc.description.abstractInvestment by multinational firms into emerging markets can simply be put down to the attraction to new markets and their attractive operating environments. The cost of operation and ultimate profit will depend on the exchange rate between home country and foreign country. This study analyses the effects that African country exchange rate volatility and its’ interactions with stock market activity against G-7 nations has on the net foreign direct investment inflows into Africa. GARCH (1, 1), VAR and VECM methods were used for estimation of the results in this study. The findings are that stock market activity does drive the volatility of the exchange rate over an annual basis in some cases. Additionally, the exchange rate volatility is simply not a causal influence on whether more investment money flows into and African country versus flowing outen_ZA
