This paper empirically analyzes the direct impact of foreign directs investments（FDI）on the economic growth of African countries.This study find that in parallel with the increase in the number of agreements,most often bilateral,the African governments are taking more and more measures to attract foreign capital.These measures include the easing of investment conditions（tax relief,for example）in host countries;which is also one of the recommendations of financial institutions such as the WB and the IMF.As a result,many investors are heading to Africa to benefit from changes in investment rules.By way of example,in 2014,more than80% of investment policy measures aimed to improve the conditions for entry of foreign investment and to reduce existing restrictions.This shows how FDI remains the most important and constant source of external financing for developing economies but also justifies the behavior of African countries in seeking natural attraction of FDI.In view of the increase in the entry of FDI in the African zone,it is important to question the direct and conditional impacts of FDI on the economic growth of African countries.The objective of this study is to explore the impacts of foreign direct investment on economic growth of the African continent.An econometric analysis centered on simultaneous equations was performed.Indeed,this analysis has made it possible to observe correlations between foreign direct investment,economic growth,human capital,natural resources,openness to foreign trade and technology transfer.The results show that the FDI has an impact on economic growth through human capital,foreign trade and technology transfer.The level of education at the secondary level has a negative and significant impact on growth,while the level of higher education makes it possible to improve it significantly,at the threshold of 1% at the level of growth of the African countries.Investment in general education and other forms of human capital is essential for a country it’s offers a favorable climate for FDI.The study show that foreign direct investment is an important component for stimulating growth and a decisive factor in the process of technological catch-up developed countries.With regard to the transfer of technology,it is obvious that the success of the transfer operation depends as much on the reception conditions as on the form of establishment of the FDIs.FDI inflows help also to integrate the host countries more closely into the global economy by generating and developing trade flows with foreign countries.
