Abstract

The study aimed to clarify the role of investment in achieving the sustainable development goals, and the extent of the impact of global changes on it during the period 2018-2023, relying on all studies, data, and information that could be obtained regarding the variables under study, focusing on some of the international goals in 2015 (United Nations Development Programme). The study’s methodology allowed reviewing some investment determinants, such as: growth rate and national income, with a focus on agricultural investment, as well as some sustainable development factors such as: eradicating hunger, production and consumption, by following the method of theoretical review of the study’s variables due to the availability of theoretical sources, while The ability to obtain documented official digital and statistical data has weakened until 2023, during which Egypt and the world witnessed many global changes.

The results showed that the null hypothesis that “there is no role for investment variables in achieving sustainable development goals in light of global variables” is not acceptable, but rather it was concluded that investment has a role in achieving food security and thus helps in eliminating hunger, and it also achieves an increase in the value of production. . It concluded the importance of expanding agricultural investments to reduce the food security gap, self-sufficiency, production and covering consumption requirements, as well as the importance of foreign direct investment and its relationship to achieving sustainable development.
