Our findings declared that gross domestic product, foreign direct investment, foreign debt and domestic credit to private sector positively affect domestic investment in Pakistan whereas interest rate, foreign aid, inflation and non-democratic government have negative relation with domestic investment in long run. Dictatorial dummy and credit to private sector has insignificant influence in long run whereas in short run, non democratic dummy influences domestic investment significantly.
