Although, a vast amount of literature has emerged on determinants of FDI across the globe, yet research in a Saudi Arabian context remains limited. This study is an attempt to fill this gap where determinants of resource-seeking FDI are analyzed over a period of 30 years. The study uses Johansen tests of cointegration to find out the effect of hypothesized variables as determinants of resource-seeking FDI. In order to determine a causal link among the tested variables, a Granger causality test is also conducted. On overall basis, it can be concluded that the resource-seeking FDI in the country is mainly driven by greater trade openness, resilient fiscal performance and existence of greater oil reserves.
