Abstract

With rapid economic growth over the past five decades, the Asia-Pacific region has become a leading destination for FDI. The paper investigates the relationship between FDI and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 56 countries across the region during the period 2017–2023, classifying them into developed and developing country groups. Using a quantitative approach, the study employs a regression model to assess the impact of FDI on four main pillars: people, planet, prosperity, and peace & partnership. The results show that FDI has a significantly negative impact on the SDGs, especially regarding the environment, while its effect on the “people” pillar is inconclusive. Foreign direct investment inflows into developed countries tend to increase international tensions, contrasting with trends in developing countries. These findings highlight the need for policies to mitigate negative impacts and optimize the role of FDI in advancing the SDGs in the Asia-Pacific region.
