MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING STATE BANK OF VIETNAM BANKING UNIVERSITY HO CHI MINH CITY TRAN DANG BAO TRAN IMPACT OF BASIC MACROECONOMIC FACTORS ON THE EXCHANGE RATE IN VIET NAM GRADUATION DISSERTATION MAJOR: FINANCE - BANKING CODE: 7340201 SUPERVISOR DR HA VAN DUNG HO CHI MINH CITY, 2018 I ABSTRACT This dissertation studies the impact of basic macroeconomic factors on the exchange rate in Vietnam and build regression model for estimating exchange rate Based on the quarterly data from the first quarter of 2000 to the fourth quarter of 2015 and the research variables include: exchange rates between VND and USD, economic growth (gross domestic product) , inflation (consumer price index), interest rate (deposit rate) Firstly, the thesis will explore the theory of selected variables and, at the same time, the author also learns the theory of the relationship between selected macro variables and the exchange rate The thesis also refers, using previous relevant documents, to make hypotheses about the impact direction of macro variables to exchange rates and build research model based on previous research study Secondly, the study uses matrix correlation to examine the correlation between variables Next, the thesis uses the Augmented Dickey-Fuller method to test the stationary of the time series Then, the thesis uses the VAR model to assess the impact of macro variables on the exchange rate The empirical results show that the variables that have a statistically significant effect on the explanatory variables which are the macro factors and dependent variable which is the exchange rate At the same time, the thesis also provides the direction of impact of macro factors on exchange rate through impulse response function method, the results are in the following order: economic growth has a positive impact on the exchange rate, the interest rate has the opposite effect to the exchange rate and the consumer price index has the opposite effect to the exchange rate II DECLARATION OF AUTHENTICITY This dissertation is my own research, the results and data collection of which are true, without prior publication of content or other content that is performed by others except for the references are cited in full source in the thesis Ho Chi Minh, December, 2018 Tran Dang Bao Tran III ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all, I want to send my gratitude and respect to Dr Ha Van Dung for his sharing, understandings and considerate supports to give me useful recommendations and guidances during my study Finally, best regards to my lecturers, my friends, my

stability of the value of the Vietnamese currency, the State Bank of Vietnam should have an active and flexible, accordance with market movements, macroeconomic conditions and accordance with the target set in the economy as well as create confidence in the market to both economic growth and stable value for money Interest rate Through the results of the test, the author has evidence that when raising interest rates, the exchange rate will decrease This has many implications in the practice of monetary policy When a country's interest rate rises, investors will invest in countries with higher interest rates, resulting in higher domestic demand, lower exchange rates (the Fisher effect) With the rising domestic interest rates, the Vietnamese currency will be more value because of higher interest rates At the same time, high interest rates will attract people to hold VND, which makes dollarization of the economy reduced In addition, the Government and the SBV can use interest rate tools to attract people to hold and deposit in dong Also, the SBV needs to improve its interest rate policies and operate in a consistent and effective manner the interest rate policy instruments Inflation The results also show that inflation has an impact on the exchange rate during the study period, although this is contrary to the forecast When contact with the real situation in recent years, the author found that inflation is the opposite effect with the exchange rate is the Government has taken measures to stabilize the exchange rate to avoid the situation people flocked to hold currency As a result, inflation is rising, and overall prices in the economy are rising, which is a sign of currency devaluation Thus, the results show that the Government has done a good job of stabilizing the exchange rate and the exchange rate tends to stabilize when inflation is high Therefore, the Government's exchange rate control in this period was quite successful, however, the Government's inflation control target should be tried to stabilize the psychology of people in the coming period when the economy fluctuates Therefore, 50 the Government should strengthen control of market and prices, closely monitored domestic and foreign market developments, promptly apply measures to regulate supply and demand, stabilize the market 5.3 Limitations The author finishes this paper with several discussions on possible limitations of this study that need to be further investigated in the near future Firstly, the dissertation can not answer the question of the impact of macroeconomic factors on the exchange rate because it does not take into account other factors such as external shocks that may affect the exchange rate in Vietnam Secondly, in fact, there are many macroeconomic variables affecting exchange rates, however, the focus is on three macroeconomic factors - economic growth, inflation and interest rates The number of variables is not many so it does not reflect the impact of macro factors on the exchange rate in Vietnam Finally, the dissertation uses the VAR estimation model to produce the results but not compare with other estimation methodology was used to improve the validity of the results 5.4 Future studies The topic has partly solved the question of the impact of basic macroeconomic factors on the exchange rate in Vietnam However, there are some limitations as mentioned above Extensive research can be done as follows: - Expands the data view time The dissertation uses data from the first quarter of 2000 to the fourth quarter of 2015, however, research may use data from months to be richer - Use multiple estimation methods to compare the results to increase the firmness of the research results - Extensive research variables, not just macro fundamental variables but also other factors, the external shock of the economy to the exchange rate to answer the question of the impact of macroeconomic factors to the exchange rate in
