Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the impact of economic factors (GDP growth, foreign
direct investment, and inflation) on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) in the Maghreb countries (Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia)
during the period (2002–2022). Using Fixed Effects Model, the results showed that
economic growth negatively affects the achievement of the SDGs, while foreign
direct investment has a statistically significant positive impact. Inflation did not show
a significant effect. The study also revealed a clear disparity in developmental
performance among the Maghreb countries, with Morocco and Algeria outperforming
Libya and Mauritania in SDG indicators.
