Abstract |
In this paper we have used Principal component Analysis (PCA) a data reduction technique, to explore graphically the important events that influenced the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Pakistan during July 2001 till February 2019. FDI is the major influential factor in the economy of any country. Through PCA, identification of major influential events can be identified which have a lasting (negative/positive) impact on the economy of Pakistan. Monthly FDI from over 30 countries are considered for analysis. The data is divided in three parts 1) From July 2001 till June 2007, 2) from July 2007 till June 2013, and 3) from July 2013 till February 2019. First two Principal components are considered for analysis as they accounts for 85, 60 and 82 per cent of the total investment made by various countries in the corresponding durations.
