Unstable economic and political conditions can increase uncertainty and potential foreign investment losses. According to Marsh (2019), ASEAN-7 countries (Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, and Cambodia) have high and medium economic and political risks in ASEAN. An in-depth analysis of foreign investment that is assumed to be correlated with economic and political risk is required. The research methodology used is the Panel Corrected Standard Error (PCSE) as the analysis technique. The results show that economic risk with trade openness indicator positively and significantly affects foreign direct investment. This means that when ASEAN-7 countries have the ability to increase their international trade activities, the flow of FDI will increase. Political risk with political stability indicator has a positive and significant effect on Foreign Direct Investment. This means that good political stability conditions in ASEAN-7 will increase FDI flows to ASEAN-7 countries. The corruption perception index negatively and significantly affects the foreign direct investment. This means that the more corrupt the countries in ASEAN-7, the higher the FDI flow to ASEAN-7 countries.
