Vietnam – Netherland programme for their knowledge of all the course, during the time I studied at the programme iii ABSTRACT This paper estimates the impact of macroeconomic environment on Vietnam stock returns and drawing the conclusion of the impact of macro variables on stock market in order to offer some appropriate policies to improve stock market and provide investors of more information This study uses multiple regression analysis with monthly dataset for recent years from 01/2004 to 08/2013 to evaluate the relationship between macroeconomic factors and stock returns The model explains well the movement of stock return and shows that three variables (CPI, S&P500 and exchange rate) have significant effects on performance iv TABLE OF CONTENT Chapter INTRODUCTION 1.1 Problem

Statement Pramod K Complaints and Puja Vidhi (2012) showed that stock market has an indirect impact on the developing by playing a crucial role in its two primary components: industry and commerce Therefore, in the investors view, the stock market also occupy an important position Securities is reputedly a source of long – term capital In consequences, investors could supply capital to companies which are in case of need through the stock market In another word, securities allow companies to expand their business as well as provide a surplus fund to the capital market Before investing in securities, investors should have a thorough grasp of the market by observing the fluctuation of different index Analysing the various indicators is an effective method to have a comprehensive view of the stock market Then, investors can forecast the trend of stock market in the future, make up efficient portfolio to gain the highest profit The efficient market hypothesis proposed by Fama (1970) placed a very significant economic theory for policy makers and investors Accordingly, policy makers are free to implement global policies without worrying about changing the essence of stock market, since they only change the share prices Also, economic theory hypothesizes that stock price reflects not only the available information but also the expectation of firms’ future operation If stock price can accurately reflect the macro environment, it can also be used to be an indicator of future global conditions Therefore, studying the causality and mutual interactions between macro variables and stock price is of great important when the Government is considering any policies for the nation In the literature, relations between economic variables have been researched to give explanations to those relations, specifically, the effects of macroeconomic variables such as industry production, money supply, inflation, exchange rate, gold price, etc., on the stock price, and the relation between those macro variables In Vietnam, changes in global policies and macro variables are often occurring abruptly, leading to strong effects, which are both negative and positive, to investors’ sentiment By applying econometric models, we may have the more general view of the risks and volatility of VN index, generating forecasts and cautionary for investment activities That research are based on econometric tests with highly reliable data and general view of the yield on Vietnam stock market However, many research has proceeded for the stock market and economic factors, and, therefore the conclusions may not be enough As a result, it has been argued that the risk factors from the local rather than risk factors from the world are the primary cause of variation in the stock market According to Hooper, Brailsford, and Bilson (1999) solve the problem of macroeconomic variables that can derive from sources of local risks Sims and Maysami have used Error Correction Modelling techniques to check the relationship between macroeconomic variables and profit shares in Hong Kong and Singapore ( Koon., Wee and Maysami (2004)) Through the Koon., Wee and Maysami (2004), their methods had facilitated to infer relationships between the variables short-term macroeconomic adjustment and balanced long-term, they analyzed the impact of interest rates and inflation, money supply, exchange rates and fluctuations, in fact, with a dummy variable to capture the effects of the Asian financial crisis in 1997 The results can be verified that the impact of macroeconomic variables on the stock market index in each of the six countries being studied, although the type and size of different associations depending on the financial structure of each country Raman K Agrawalla (2010) attempts to find whether the economic factor can reflect stock price The relations of some macroeconomic factors may change from markets to markets; may vary during various form and also at different frequencies of data Therefore, much intensive research necessary for understanding the macroeconomic variables that can affect the stock market Moreover, the capital markets have experienced significant changes when to apply the policy liberalization, and it became more open to international investor The reform of market and potential economic had attracted a large number of foreign institutional investors in the stock exchange APPENDIX B: Simple regression Table B.1 Industry production and stock return Intercept Industrial
