| الملخص: | This study investigates factors that influence the Malaysian exchange rate using quarterly
data from 1996Q1 to 2015Q2. The Johansen-Juselius cointegration test is used to assess
the long run equilibrium relationship between the Malaysian exchange rate, government
consumption, trade openness and net foreign assets. The long run VECM results indicate
that the government consumption, the trade openness and the net foreign assets are the
factors that significantly influence the Malaysian exchange rate. The government
consumption and the trade openness have negative relationships with the Malaysian
exchange rate, while the net foreign assets is found to have a positive influence on the
Malaysian exchange rate. This study provides insights for the policy maker to justify the
factors that influence the exchange rate and use the factors as a channel to influence the
Malaysian exchange rate. Results of this study enhance existing limited knowledge of the
exchange rate study using the BEER model in determining factors that influence the
Malaysian exchange rate, and the period of study covers a number of situation where the
Malaysian exchange rate had a significant drop in value. |
