Foreign Direct Investment and Bank Performance in Uzbekistan

Abstract

Several studies have used different methodologies to establish the link between foreign direct investment and bank performance. This study includes literature on the impact of foreign direct investment on the performance of commercial banks in Uzbekistan. Therefore, the relationship between foreign direct investment and bank performance is to be analyzed. The study used secondary data of FDI from the Data Stream while extracting financial data from the annual reports of commercial banks over a period from 2006 to 2017. This study will be conducted using the ARDL technique. The empirical analysis shows that FDI has an insignificant relationship with bank performance in Uzbekistan. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct a study on the same topic in all Central Asian Countries due to the transition of economies of these countries.
