Abstract

This study examines the relationship between exchange rate and crude oil price of five Southeast Asia countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Singapore from January 1979 to January 2022 using monthly data. Augmented Dickey-Fuller test is used to examine the stationarity of the data. DCC-GARCH model is used to investigate the correlation between oil price and exchange rate. The result shows that skewness, kurtosis, autocorrelation and ARCH effects were found in both oil price and exchange rate. Results suggested that both short run persistence (α) and long run persistence(β) are found to be highly significant for oil price and exchange rate of all countries except Indonesia. Furthermore, the correlation coefficients vary over times for all the countries studied. Negative relationship was found between oil price and exchange rate over most of the periods studied in all countries studied.
