The analysis is based on the data over the years 1986 to 2012 using the Vector Auto Regression (VAR) Technique. The objective was to analyze the relationship of (FDI) inflow and interest rates (IR). The findings suggest that the interest rates of Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia have a negative relation with foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow. No evidence was found that interest rates play any role in attracting the FDI inflow for Singapore and Malaysia. On the other hand, Thailand and Indonesia have a bi-directional relationship between interest rates and FDI inflow67 leavesapplication/pdfengThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.Real Interest ratesForeign direct investment inflowInterest ratesThe role of interest rate in attracting FDI : a study on the Asean 5 economytext--thesis--master thesis10.14457/NIDA.the.2014.40
