Abstract

We study how aid, foreign capital inflows, and financial development impact economic growth, along with the role of productive capacity in emerging Asian economies spanning from 1990 to 2020. The results of the study reveal that foreign aid, foreign capital inflows, and financial development positively contribute to economic growth, while human development and institutional quality reflect a negative association. Moreover, the interaction effects state that aid-led financial development negates growth, while FDI-led financial development amplifies growth. Overall, our empirical findings suggest that emerging Asian economies need to adopt sustainable prudent macroeconomic dynamics to revive growth in a robust manner.
