STOCK MARKET FROM 2012 TO THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2018 GRADUATION THESIS MAJOR: FINANCE – BANKING CODE: 7340201 INSTRUCTOR M.S LIEU CAP PHU HO CHI MINH CITY - 2018 BANKING UNIVERSITY OF HO CHI MINH CITY VIETNAM High-Quality Program of Banking and Finance ABSTRACT Author AN, Thien PHUNG Title The relationship between macro-economic factors and bank stock price in Vietnam stock market from 2012 to the first quarter of 2018 Year 2018 Language English Supervisor PHU, Cap LIEU In the current overall development of the economy, the role of analyzing the effects of macroeconomic factors is indispensable in order to figure out viable remedies to retain the sustainable growth of the country’s economic system One of the most concerns of the public is the stability and development of the stock market In this thesis, the author chooses to show deep insight into the relationship between four macroeconomic criteria including Exchange rate, Money supply M2, Inflation rate and short-term lending interest rate and the bank stock price in the Vietnam stock market Assumptions are Inflation rate, Exchange rate and Short-term interest rate have a reverse correlation to the bank stock price whereas Money supply M2 observes an opposite pattern Results indicate that all assumptions are favorable and the author also analyses all factors in more details through graphs, showing the fluctuations in each criteria in bank stock price Last but not least, this study could partly contribute to the research of relevant issues in stock market and provide a little necessary information for the future experiments Key words: Inflation rate, Money supply M2, Exchange rate, Short-term lending rate, Bank stock price ĐẠI HỌC NGÂN HÀNG THÀNH PHỐ HỒ CHÍ MINH Chương trình Cử nhân Chất lượng cao – Chuyên
