Abstract

Economic security reduces the perceived risks associated with investment and encourages long-term commitments that are essential for industrial development and innovation. Accordingly, the purpose of the research is to examine the relationships and effects of economic security indicators on the level of investment attraction in the industrial sector. To examine this purpose, descriptive and analytical research methods have been used. The data collection method was based on documentary methods (statistical data on industry, mining, and trade) and field (opinions of 13 elites). Correlation and regression statistical methods have also been used for analysis. Based on the regression results, the research indicators explain 21 percent of investment and there is a significant relationship between these two variables. However, the regression coefficient showed that other indicators should be included in the equation to analyze and accurately examine the status of capital attraction and investment in the industrial sector. Therefore, this research leaves another path and other indicators and variables open for authors and researchers to examine investment in the industrial sector.
