The empirical results reveal that both monetary and fiscal policies in the region had been undermined in achieving their intended purposes because of increasing capital flight and external debt. Also, the concurrent occurrence of capital flight and external debt has been a hindrance to progress on the continent, particularly by undermining domestic investment. These results call for more practical measures in addressing the issues of foreign debt and capital flight, given the critical importance of domestic private investment for both short- and long-run growth.

Unfortunately, the economies of these countries reported only steady growth with successive periods of high inflation and undesirable balance of payments deficits, leading scholars to ask whether external debt really can contribute to growth. At the same time, there is now considerable evidence that the build-up in debt was accompanied by increasing capital flight from the region. Employing Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimation and datasets from 1990 to 2012, this paper investigated the apparent positive relationship between capital flight and external debt in Sub-Saharan Africa, taking Heavily Indebted Poor Countries in the region as a case study. The results revealed that external debt exerted a positive and statistically significant effect on capital flight both in short and long-run, suggesting that if foreign borrowing remains unchecked, it will continue to lead to massive capital outflow in Heavily Indebted Poor Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.
