This paper deployed ARDL model to determine the effects of DIF and FDI on trade in the BRICS countries for 42 years (1980 \u2013 2022). Results show heterogeneous short-run effects of DIF and FDI on trade in BRICS. Similarly, there are mixed long-run effects for Brazil, China and South Africa but not be ascertained for Russia and India. The implication is that DIF and FDI are appropriate strategies for short-run export growth and import control in the BRICS countries but are not appropriate for long-run export-oriented policy in Russia and import-control strategies in Russia, China, India and South Africa. In practice, therefore, the countries should incorporate diaspora finance and FDI only in their short-run export-growth and import control strategies, while only Brazil should do so in both the short- and long-run in order to benefit more from trade.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Keywords:<\/strong><\/p><p>Diaspora finance, FDI, trade, exchange rate, absorptive capacity, ARDL, BRICS<\/p><p><a href=\"#\"><strong>Received<\/strong>:<\/a> 02 November 2024<\/p><p><a href=\"#\"><strong>Accepted:<\/strong><\/a> 13 December 2024<\/p><p><a href=\"#\"> <strong>Published:<\/strong><\/a> 31 December 2024<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc41ac9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"bc41ac9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/seybold-report.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Okwu-Andy-Titusrev1.pdf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-file-pdf\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">PDF<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-69e1ea0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"69e1ea0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b511d7b\" data-id=\"b511d7b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TITLE:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 DIASPORA FINANCE, FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND TRADE FLOWS IN THE BRICS COUNTRIES \u00a0AUTHORS:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Okwu Andy T.1* Akpa Emeka O.2 Awode Segun S.3 Alalade Yimka S.
