ABSTRACT
This study examines the relationship between macroeconomic variables and money supply
in Asia. It is known that macroeconomic variables have influenced the movement of money
supply. Macroeconomic variables such as economic growth, inflation rate and interest rate
were tested to investigate the relationship between money supply (M2) in five Asian
countries. The five countries include Singapore, China, Philippines, Bangladesh and
Malaysia. Raw monthly data are gathered and tabulated with ranging from 2000-2019,
taken from various reliable sources such as World Bank Data, Trading Economics,
Thomson Reuters Eikon and CEIC. The interactive software such E-views been used to
conduct econometric tests to identify whether these selected macroeconomic variables are
significant or insignificant and whether there have a positive or negative relationship. This
research study, includes five different findings of each countries and as a result, only
Singapore and Philippines obtained similar results. As an inference, the changes in money
supply (M2) are influenced by the changes of macroeconomic variable in Asia. Hence,
showing the presence of the relationship between both variables.

CHAPTER 1:
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Scholars around the world have studied and aware of the importance of money supply
to the macroeconomics in their countries. Furthermore, recently the money supply crisis
has become a global economic recession that has affected both developed and developing
Asia countries. This chapter enables the reader to induce an understanding on the
relationship between macroeconomic variables and money supply in Asia countries raging
from period of Jan 2000 until Dec 2019. The main objective of this research is to identify
the relationship between macroeconomic variables and money supply in Asia countries.
Monetary aggregates are the manipulation of the money supply with the objective of
affecting macroeconomic outcomes like economic growth, inflation rate and interest rates.
A monetary aggregate is used as the instrument of monetary policy, and it thus acted as the
anchor for prices (Arwatchanakarn, 2018). The Bank of Thailand started targeting
monetary aggregates within a financial programming approach to ensure macroeconomic
consistency and to attain price stability and sustainable economic growth as well
(Charoenseang & Manakit, 2007).
Terminologies terms that are utilized in this research includes independent variables –
macroeconomic variables used (economic growth, inflation rate and interest rate),
dependent variable – money supply, developed and developing Asia countries. The
definition of every term used are as follows:
In this study, money supply is treated as the exploratory variable, that is, a dependent
variable that does not stand alone and is influenced by how other variables are manipulated
(He, 2017). According to Hussain (2017), developing countries are including Bangladesh,
In this research as well, money supply will be affected by the inflation rate in the
country. According to previous researches, we have determined that there is a positive
relationship between inflation and money supply while considering a host of other factors
said by (Cao, 2015). This research also discusses on the relationship between economic
growth and money supply. It also shown a positive relationship between economic growth
and money supply. In other words, when money supply increase, there is a tendency to be
highly positive about the economy and asset price such as housing and stock.
The relationship between interest rate and money supply also will be discussed in this
research study. Therefore, it is shown and proven by previous researches that there is a
negative relationship occurs in both variables. To brief, the decreasing in interest rate will
lead to an increment in money supply, thus, the consumers will borrow more to enjoy the
lower interest rate (base lending rate). Conversely, when the interest rate rises, the money
supply declines as at this particular time, consumers are less inclined in making loan from
the bank.
This is whereby, money supply will be the dependent variable on one of the elements
in monetary policies that will be affected by independent variable (Economic Growth,
Inflation Rate and Interest Rate) in the Asia country. Money supply also can be known as
stock of money which mean the money that have been circulated for stock of currencies
and other liquid instrument in a country’s economy. Money supply includes the cash, coins,
and balance held in checking and saving accounts and other near money substitute. Below
is the general classification of monetary policies variables under Money Supply:
• M1 = Currency Circulation (For Example: Bank notes and coins)
• M2 = M1 + savings deposits, money market securities, mutual funds, and other
deposits.
• M3 = Broad Money (M2 + Large time deposits, institutional money, Market Fund,
Short term repurchase agreements and larger liquid assets)
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a relationship between
macroeconomics variables and money supply in Asia. Based on the standard
macroeconomics theory stated that, an increase in the supply of money should lower the
interest rate in the economy which it leads to more consumption and lending/borrowing.
While when money supply is increasing in a country, it can lead to increase in economic
variables as consumer have more spending and vice versa. However, when the money
supply increase it will cause inflation at the same rate as real output, then the prices will
stay the same (He, 2017). Most of selected Asia countries have medium relatively levels
of monetary policies and money supply as they are developing countries and can show the
moderate economic growth towards the economics.
Besides, from Friedman’s Theory states that "Inflation is forever and all over a
monetary phenomenon that derives from fast growth in the amount of money than in total
income.” He pointed out that the changes in the money supply will effort effectively
throughout to be the main reasons for change in nominal income. He discusses output level
will go first through monetary expansion if the nominal income of the public rises (Sultana,
2018). Moreover, based on Keynesian’s Theory stated that, based on the short-term
analysis he argues that the increase in aggregate demand boosts up demand-pull inflation.
The main source of rapid inflation is the gap between aggregate demand and aggregate
supply. According to Keynesian theory, prices are determined exogenously, or
nonmonetary forces and output are to be variable which is resolute by the change in
investment expenditure (Sultana, 2018). However, we will show further discussion about
the fact of the theories to proof it as the strong or just a statement towards the economics.
also not immune to the effects of the outbreak, according to Michael Ricafort, Chief
Economist at Rizal Commercial Banking Corp., said the Bangkok Central ng Philippines
(BSP) still has a room to further ease monetary policy, to be fact that an action has already
taken by the US Federal Reserve when it slashed policy rates by 50 bps recently to counter
the effects of Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) towards growth (Cigaral, 2020). In
China, according to Freya Beamish at Pantheon Macroeconomics, the current rate of
increase in M2 pointed to a sub-4.0% pace of expansion in China’ gross domestic product
on a two-to-three-year horizon (Bueso, 2020).
Another Asia country that also have same problem is Bangladesh, whereby the country
has to ensure that each branches of bank have sufficient money due to that, its central bank
had increase the money supply in the country according to the prime minister of Finance
in Bangladesh. While in Philippines, money supply grew double digits in January due to
the demand for credit during the month which that has been reported by Bangkok Central
ng Philippines (BCP) in March 2020. The Central Bank showed the domestic liquidity rose
11.9% to P12.793 trillion in January from P11.433 trillion the same month in 2019
(CABUENAS, 2020). It shows that economic growth on Philippines also increases as the
consumers are spending more because of the increasing in money supply. In addition, loans
for production and household also increased during the month compare to year 2019.
According Van (2019) indicated that money supply may have been influenced by
several factors such as interest rate, inflation rate and economic growth. However, not all
of the macroeconomic variables being examined in term of the impact on the money supply
fluctuation. There are some studies such as in 2016, Rexford have examined
macroeconomic effects of uncertainty or volatility, with most of these studies specifically
focusing on the effects of macroeconomic uncertainty on growth or economic performance.
In terms of how specific adverse macroeconomic conditions such as inflation uncertainty
impact output growth or economic activities. In majority rare macroeconomic variables
have less research done on its influence toward the money supply movement.
Therefore, it is motivated to conduct the research in Asia countries in order to determine
the macroeconomic variables that significantly affect money supply in Asia countries since
there are few factors examined in past research. To deduce, the main purpose of this paper
is to examine the relationship between the selected macroeconomic variables and money
supply in Asia countries by using quantitative method by using the other way around
departing from the framework theory and regression model.
1.8 Conclusion
This chapter had carried out the Asia countries’ introduction of money supply and
explain the overview of the nature and field of study. In this chapter, for background of the
study, we discuss the current issues arising on the study that we are planning to highlighting
the objectives of our research. Next, we also explain the gap of knowledge of new findings
in problem statement. We also included research objectives and question for this research.
Besides that, we discussed the scope and limitations of the study which help other
researcher to understand the purpose of conducting this research. Moreover, the implication
of the study which has also been covered in this chapter on how this research contributes
to the public. Other than that, it involved the chapter layouts in this chapter to provide more
understanding in the outline of every chapter in this research. In the followings of chapter
2, there will be discussion on the literature review based on the past research on this
relationship between macroeconomics variables and money supply in Asia countries.
CHAPTER 2:
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
In this chapter the main theoretical foundation used in this study is money supply
of the Asia countries and the empirical finding in this study is macroeconomic variables.
Proposed conceptual framework helps the readers acknowledge and also develops
hypothesis which are used to clarify the influences between variables. This research is
about how the money supply is affected by the macroeconomic variable in Asia countries.
In the short, we may proceed our research with some methodologies to provide few
outcomes that influence variables.
G.Kulkani (2006) opined that if economy demand more for money then it will lead the
excessive money supply that which will affect the price level and economic growth. There
is positive relationship between money supply and economic growth. From the
Keynesian’s theory, we can see it from two perspectives which are Contractionary
monetary policy and Expansionary monetary policies. Generally, Contractionary happens
when money supply in the economy decrease. Hence, decrease in money supply will
decrease in consumer spending so it will lead to decrease in economic growth. For
Expansionary, it emphasizes when money supply in the economy increase, will leads
consumer to spend more so that is why the economic growth will increase.
10
The Quantity Theory of Money refers to the concept that the amount of money available
(money supply) is increasing at the same rate as long-term price levels. There is a positive
relationship between money supply and inflation where when interest rates fall or taxes
decrease and the access to money becomes less restricted, consumers become less sensitive
to price changes. Hence this can be said that when there is increasing in the money supply
will cause price levels to increase, thus causing inflation (CFI, 2015).

appropriate way of targeting inflation in the Nigerian economy, the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) has chosen a monetary targeted policy framework to achieve its price stability
objective. The CBN used a mix of indirect money (M2) as the intermediate target and the
monetary base as the operational target. These instruments included reserve requirements,
Nigerian Treasury Bills (NTBs) open-market operations, liquid asset ratios and the
discount window (IMF Country Report, 2003).
The Chinese government has frequently adjusted monetary policy in China over the
past more than 10 years to address macroeconomic challenges such as economic decline,
real estate bubble, and high research inflation (Yang, 2015). According to the Chaudhry,
Farooq and Murtaza (2015) publish a paper called 'Monetary Policy and its Inflationary
Pressure in Pakistan'. Their findings go beyond the main points; interest rate and money
supply are important long-term policy variables for controlling inflation while in the short
run it is the national output level that put downward pressure on the inflation rate.
Meanwhile, Jayasooriya (2015) also points out that the expansion of monetary policy leads
to an increase in Sri Lankan inflation and one reason for this for the expansive monetary
policy is the budget deficit. Inflation on the other hand also causes the budget deficit to
rise. Those relationships therefore clearly show a vicious cycle of inflation in Sri Lanka.
Based on the research, Shen (2019) mentioned that with the continuous
development of China’s economy, indicators such as gross national product, consumer
price index and money supply have been important indicators to judge the state of
macroeconomic development. Consumer price index (CPI) is an indicator to measure and
judge deflation and inflation. In fact, the control of money circulation has become
particularly important, because through the control of money circulation will directly affect
inflation, hence affecting the development of the whole economy. Bozzkurt (2014) studied
that in Turkey, economic instability created by high and continuing inflation for many
years reduced growth performance, affected income distribution adversely, reduced the
level of prosperity and caused instability in all areas. It is a well-known fact that high
inflation decreases purchasing power and creates financial difficulties. On the other hand,
it also affects individuals' life quality adversely. The fact that education, which is the most
important aspect for the future of the country is ignored, individual's starting his/her
working career at an early age, cutting back on expenditures related to social life such as

research, (2017) the author concludes that governments of Asian countries. According to
this concept, there is a negative relationship between money and interest rates. Increased
interest rates require a reduction in the amount of money stock referred to (Korkmaz,
2013). For previous evidence of this theory, the government has raised the interest rate of
SBI (Sertifikat Bank Indonesia / Bank Indonesia Certificates), so government needs to
conduct other policies that encourage people to be more productive, rather than lowering
the profit from interest that had mention by (Darman, 2016).
Based on the research, (2017) the author concludes that governments of Asian
countries should be careful at money supply, fiscal deficit, government expenditure and
interest rate because it can make a contribution to high inflation for the economy.
Furthermore, in European countries (2013) as cited in Cochrane (1989) proof the
relationship between Money supply and Interest rate using band-pass filters to investigate
the short-run relationship between money growth and interest rates. He also found a
negative correlation between short-term movements in money growth and interest rates,
which he describes as facts that the liquidity effect dominates the expected inflation effect.
17
2.3 Conclusion
In this chapter 2, we discuss about two theories that related on macroeconomic variables
and money supply which are Keynesian Theory and Quantity Theory of Money. For
Keynesian Theory is state the relationship between economic growth and money supply
and for quantity theory money is about relationship between inflation and money supply.
Next, empirical findings is about positive or negative relationship between macroeconomic
variables (economic growth, inflation rate, interest rate) and money supply. These variables
viewed as positive relationship between economic growth and money supply and also
positive relationship between inflation rate and money supply. But this macroeconomic
variable has one negative relationship between interest rate and money supply. However,
the further investigation will be continuing in the following chapters.

CHAPTER 3:
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 Introduction
Research methodology is basically a framework and path for researchers on how the
research will be developed and discussed. As known, research methodology is crucial in
every research study as it guide the researcher to obtain research outcome towards the end,
in line with their research objectives. For emphasis, this chapter will discuss on the
methodological choice, rationales and purpose of research design, research strategy,
hypothesis development, data and method, and approaches to time-series econometrics.

problem. In other words, this research design will determine the nature of relationship
between variables. Tools of exploratory research design includes conducting a search of
literature for review.
Descriptive research design on the other hand, is a study that describes the
characteristics of a population or phenomena. Descriptive research design aims at
answering the Who, What, Where, When and How of the research subject. This research
design basically attempts to systematically obtain the general overview of the research that
the researchers wishes to collect data, which referring to the research objective, research
questions, data analysis and findings. Thus, in order to examine and investigate the
relationship between macroeconomics variables and money supply in Asia, the mixture of
both purposes is vital. In fact, both research designs can use a quantitative method to
investigate the variables, hence the findings will be more precise
Last but not least, the strategies of this research study comprises of experimental
and case studies. Experimental research strategy represents a way to demonstrate a
cause-effect or causal relationship between the variables. In other words, the purpose of an
experimental research strategy is to establish the functional relationship between the two
variables – independent and dependent variables. It is when the researcher systematically
manipulates the independent variables (act as causal agent) and then determines whether it
produces corresponding changes in the dependent variables in an observation. This
research study is aim to examine the relationship between macroeconomics variables and
money supply, that is, the changes in macroeconomics variables will have an impact to
money supply. Experiment involves in deducing the hypothesis between the two variables.
Statistical tools that used in experimental method strategy for this study includes t-Test.
Case study strategy on the other hand, involves empirical in-depth investigation
about the research problem using multiple of sources. This strategy is mainly to provide a
better understanding of the context of research and specific processes that will be sought.
Therefore, adopting a case study strategy allowing the researcher to achieves the research
objectives and answer the research questions satisfactorily by conducting multiple ways of
data collection and analysis. For instance, a study of the relationship between
macroeconomics variables and money supply. Literature and journal review that is
undertaken provides clearer understanding of the research problems based on the previous

3.2.2 A Theoretical Framework
Basically, the theoretical framework explains the paths and grounds of the entire
research is based. It is a foundation and structure that able to support the research study.
Hence, it is based on existing knowledge, observation, ideas and experience. Therefore,
theoretical framework will help researchers in giving clear view on the interpretation and
understanding the relevance of research findings (Vinz, 2015).
23
For this research study, there are two variables involves – independent and dependent
variables. Main purpose of this study is to investigate the significant relationship between
these variables. Independent variable which also called as an exogenous variable model, is
a variable that stand alone and does not change by other variable. However, dependent
variable – endogenous variable is a variable that is changed or which valued is determined
by other variable. The selection of both variables as well have been explained earlier in
this proposal. The theoretical framework of this study is shown on the figure 3.2.2

The use of mathematical model in social science studies has increased over the
years. It is very practical as it help researchers to study the effects or relationships between
variables. Mathematical models can be in many forms, but for this study, model used is
linear equations. Linear equations is a study of the relationship between variables whereby,
value of one variable is determined by the changes of value in other (Houghton Mifflin
Company, 1999). The generic linear equation can be written in the form of:
24
𝒂𝒙 + 𝒃 = 𝟎 (1)
Where, a and b are numbers and x is the variable. This is the most standard linear equation
term. However, it is then derived into another general form of:
𝒚 = 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒄 (𝟐)
Where, y and x are the variables, m is the rational coefficient number and c is the constant
or intercept. In this equation, it is explained that y is the dependent variable and x is the
independent variable.
25
𝒚 = 𝒂 + 𝜷𝟏 𝑿𝟏 + 𝜷𝟐 𝑿𝟐 + 𝜷𝟑 𝑿𝟑 + 𝜺𝒕 (3)
In this equation, 𝒚 is the value of dependent variable that is being predicted and
calculated, while 𝑿𝟏−𝟑 are the value of independent variables that explains the variance
in 𝒚. 𝒂, or initially in (2) stated as c, is the constant or intercept term in the equation. 𝜷𝟏−𝟑
is a coefficient to be estimated or the slope for every variable, for instance a negative sign
exist in the coefficient is expected that the variables have a negative relationship with the
dependent variable. The linear regression equation includes the error term, 𝜺𝒕 . Error term
is included as it helps the model to be more precise and true. Therefore, 𝜺𝒕 explains the
error term in predicting the value of dependent variable. In fact, in a real life situation of
linear regression model, independent variables are not perfect manipulators for dependent
variable. With that being said, the equation for multiple regression for this study is:
𝒚 = 𝒂 + 𝜷𝟏 𝑰𝑷𝑰 + 𝜷𝟐 𝑪𝑷𝑰 + 𝜷𝟑 𝑩𝑳𝑹 + 𝜺𝒕 (4)
There are four approaches for the time-series involved in this study, which are,
Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) procedure, Serial Correlation Test, Normality Test on
Residuals and lastly, Multiple Regression Model.
26
Whereby 𝑅𝑘2 is the R-Squared valued obtained by regressing independent variable on all
other independent variables in the model. As of its rule of thumb, VIFs that is greater than
10 signal is highly multicollinearity problem, signal between 5 and 10 is moderately
correlated and VIFs value of 1 is not correlated. High multicollinearity is more common
and can create problems when estimating econometrics models (Econometrics For
Dummies, Pedace, 2013).
Assuming that the error terms are correlated, thus, we are unable to reject the null
hypothesis as the aim for this test is to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, failure to reject
the null hypothesis in the first order, directing us to perform the second order.
Breusch Godfrey LM test is another test for checking autocorrelation issue. The
rule of thumbs for this test, we must to identify whether the test statistics will follow chi-
27
square distribution. Hence, if the statistical p-value is more than the chosen significance
level, therefore there is no serial correlation in the error terms. Thus, we are able to reject
the null hypothesis in the second order because the error terms are not serially correlated.
Normality Test on Residuals is not necessarily required for OLS estimation, however
it is necessary required for hypothesis testing. Hence, it ensures that the p-values for the t-
test and F-test will be valid.
Jarque-Bera (JB) test, the test for the hypothesis will be rejected if the p-value is less
than or equal to 0.05. Therefore, failing the normality test interprets that 95% confidence
of the data are not normally distributed. For example, conducting a test with a p-value of
0.07 which is greater than 0.05, we do not reject the hypothesis at 5% level of significance
and it can be concluded that residual are not normally distributed.
Regression is a statistical method that is often used to measure the relationship between
dependent variable (y) and independent variable (x). Therefore, Multiple Regression
Analysis Model is utilize to explain the relationship between one dependent variable and
two or more independent variables. Under multiple linear regression model, there are few
models that can be used. Hence, this research study is using Ordinary Least Square (OLS)
method. OLS is a statistical method of analysis that estimates the relationship between the
variables by minimizing the sum of squared differences between the observed values and
corresponding values. The OLS method is used to analyze the data between money supply
and its determinants – inflation, interest rate and economic growth by using its
econometrics data and test.
In this model, regression residuals must be normally distributed, that is, variables must
have normal distribution. The model as well, should be linear in nature. In order to
successfully conduct this analysis, the three diagnostic approaches that explained earlier
must be done. The multiple regression equation for this research is explained as follows
28
𝒀 = 𝜶 + 𝜷𝟏 𝑿𝟏 + 𝜷𝟐 𝑿𝟐 + 𝜷𝟑 𝑿𝟑 + 𝜺𝒕 (1)
Where,
𝑴𝑺𝟐 = Money supply
𝜶 = Constant term
𝜷𝟏 − 𝜷𝟑 = Model coefficients
𝑰𝑷𝑰 = Industrial Production Index (proxy for economic
growth)
𝑪𝑷𝑰 = Consumer Price Index (proxy for inflation rate)
𝑩𝑳𝑹 = Bank Lending Rate (proxy for interest rate)
𝜺𝒕 = Error term
There are few main test that need to be done under the multiple regression analysis model,
which are as follows:
1. R-squared (𝑹𝟐 )
R-squared is a statistical measure of how much variation of a dependent variable
is explained by independent variables in the regression models. Furthermore, for
multiple regression with several independent variables, the R-squared must be
adjusted. Rules of thumbs, that is, adjusted R-squared values range from 0 to 1
which indicates the percentage value of 0% to 100%. For instance, 100% of R-
squared means that movement of dependent variables are completely explained by
the movements of independent variables. The common rules of thumb for 𝑹𝟐 test
are as follows:
0.5 to 1.0 = Strong relationship
0.3 to 0.5 = Moderate relationship
0.1 to 0.3 = Weak relationship
2. t-Test (P-value)
t-Test is a test used to measure the significance of individual coefficients in the
multiple regression model. In other words, T-test is conducted to check the level of
29
significant individually in order to reject the null hypothesis by comparing with the
P-value. The significance values are 1%, 5% and 10%. Assuming a certain value of
significance level, 0.05 for example, and compare it with the P-value. If the P-value
calculated is less than the significance, it can be concluded that the null hypothesis
can be rejected and alternative hypothesis is significant.
3. F-test (P-value)
The purpose of F-test is similar to the t-Test, which is used to test for significance
in the multiple regression model. However, the F-test simultaneously evaluates the
significance of many regression coefficients in the multiple regression model. By
using the same significance level as above, and assuming the P-value is 0.002. The
P-value is less than the significance level of 0.05, hence the data provide sufficient
evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Rejection of null hypothesis has concluded
that at least one of the variable in the regression model is significant.
3.4 Conclusion
In this chapter, relevant measurement and proxies of variables have been determined.
Data are collected based on with monthly frequency, ranging from the period of 2000 to
2019 from World Bank Data, Trading Economics, International Monetary Fund and CEIC
Data websites. In the data processing, the raw data will be transformed and tabulated into
useful information. Hypotheses are readily formulated, and in order to determine
significance between variables, time series model approaches are done. Data are then, run
and analyzed by using the E-views software. The results and findings will be shown in next
chapter.

CHAPTER 4:
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
4.1 Introduction
This chapter discusses on the results and findings of data based on the estimation
models that are developed in Chapter 3. Therefore, in this study, Multiple Regression
Analysis is used to examine the relationship between the money supply (DV) and
macroeconomics variables in Asia. The macroeconomics variables involved includes,
economic growth proxy of IPI, inflation rate, proxy of CPI and interest rate with proxy of
BLR (bank lending rate). The data are collected ranging from 2000 to 2019 with frequency
of monthly data distribution, taken from various sources explained in Chapter 3 earlier.
These data, are then, analyzed through economics software – Economic Views (E-views).
E-views is utilized to produce findings on the investigation of the relationship between
both variables, and also to conduct diagnostic checks.
The analysis are begins with diagnostics checks which consist of Variance Inflation
Factor (VIF) procedure, Durbin Watson and Serial LM Correlation Test, Normality Test
and finally ends with the Multiple Regression Analysis (OLS method) with t-Test, F-test
and adjusted R-squared to conclude the whole analysis. This chapter moreover, consists of
five different findings depending on the analysis of five different Asia countries
(Singapore, China, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Philippines) that have explained in scope
studies in Chapter 1.
31
Findings 1:
Singapore
The above table statistically illustrates the Variance Inflation Factors (VIF)
procedure for Singapore country. All of the data set are in natural logarithm form (LN), the
full raw tabulated data and logarithm data will be disclosed in appendices. Hence,
according to above analysis, shows that all of the variables scored lower than 5 in Centered
VIF, whereby, Industrial Production Index (LNIPI) scores 1.389069, Consumer Price
Index (LNCPI) scores 1.467784 and Bank Lending Rate (LNBLR) scores 1.131853.
Therefore, these independent variables do not suffer with multicollinearity problem due to
low correlation among them and resulting no withdrawal of independent variables.
32
Serial Correlation Test is used to check whether the error term in the time series
regression is randomly distributed and not correlated over a period. Therefore, Durbin
Watson (DW) test, Breusch Godfrey LM test and Newey-West Procedure are used to detect
autocorrelation in residuals that could affect the validity of Multiple Regression Model. In
order to conduct this test, the null hypothesis must be derived first and the aim is to reject
the null hypothesis, that is:
The statistical table above shown the OLS Display of Singapore country. Based on the
result given, the Durbin Watson Statistic scores 0.133197, which illustrate that it is lower
than a lower Durbin (Dl). Therefore, it resulting that the error terms are suffer from serial
correlation, thus, unable to reject the null hypothesis. This is due to the fact that the DW
statistic should scores between 1 (lower Durbin) and 4 (upper Durbin) to show that the
residuals are not serially correlated. Therefore, we may proceed to the next autocorrelation
test – Breusch Godfrey LM.
33
Moving onto the next serial correlation test, Breusch Godfrey LM test. In order to
check for serial correlation, the DW test statistic must follow the Chi-Square distribution.
34
Newey-West Procedure is then, proceed when the time series still suffers a serial
correlation problem in the second order, which where, we do not have enough evidence to
The table 4.2.2.3.2 illustrates an Ordinary Least Square Method Newey-West fixed
display for Singapore country derived from E-views. According to the statistical results,
the error terms are now corrected in the Newey-West test, whereby it slightly higher than
the previous Durbin Watson in the first order (shown in table 4.2.2.3.1).
In the Newey-West test, the corrected error terms for each variables are, 0.038072
for Industrial Production Index, 0.15621 for Consumer Price Index and 0.455514 for Bank
Lending Rate. However, the standard errors in the first order form are 0.016090 for IPI,
0.074626 for CPI and 0.310578 for BLR.
Therefore, the third order of autocorrelation test shows that the error terms do not
suffer from a serial correlation problem anymore. This conclude that we have ample
evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the error terms are not serially correlated and
randomly distributed.
35
The analysis is then proceed to the third diagnostic test, which is, Normality Test
on Residuals. This method is used to ensure that the residuals are normally distributed in
order to perform parametric tests later in multiple regression analysis. Thus, to carry out
this test, we must use the Jarque-Bera (JB) test method and the null hypothesis must be
developed and be rejected.
In Jarque-Bera (JB) Test, the data analysis should displayed a plotted Histogram
graph on the E-views program.
36
After passing all three diagnostic checks that we have done before, we proceed to
the Multiple Regression Analysis, which, to elucidate the relationship between both
variables, a dependent variable and multiple independent variables using OLS method. In
order to conduct Multiple Regression Analysis, all data must be in the form of natural
logarithm (LN) and since there is no withdrawal of independent variable during the first
diagnostic check – VIF test, all variables are included.
Table 4.2.4 displays Singapore Ordinary Least Square display for the Multiple
Regression Analysis. In this analysis, Money Supply (LNMS) is the dependent variable
(y), while, Economic Growth proxy by IPI (LNIPI), Inflation Rate proxy by CPI (LNCPI)
and Interest Rate proxy by BLR (LNBLR) are the independent variables (x). According to
result above, all independent variables are significant as the P-value of each is less than
0.05 or 5%
37
(2)
From the equation above, it conveys that Economic Growth (IPI) and Inflation Rate
(CPI) have positive relationship with Money Supply (MS), meanwhile, Interest Rate (BLR)
has negative relationship with Money Supply (MS).
Coefficients (𝛽)
If the Money Supply increases by 1%, the Economic Growth (IPI) will increases
by 0.048%. This shows that Economic Growth is significant, and has a positive relationship
with Money Supply.
If the Money Supply increases by 1%, the Inflation Rate (CPI) will increases by
4.51%. This shows that Inflation Rate is significant, and has a positive relationship with
Money Supply.
If the Money Supply increases by 1%, the Interest Rate (BLR) will decreases by
1.50%. This shows that Interest Rate (BLR) is significant, and has a negative relationship
with Money Supply.
38
The constant value explains that value of dependent variable, Money Supply is -
5.458297 when all independent variables, Economic Growth (IPI), Inflation Rate (CPI)
and Interest Rate (BLR) are value to zero.
39
Referring to the t-test, it is proven that we have enough evidence to reject all null
hypotheses of the variables because the p-value is less than chosen significance level, that
is, 0.05. As for that reason, we are able to deduce that Economic Growth, Inflation Rate
and Interest Rate have strong relationship in influencing the movement of Money Supply
in Singapore.
40
41
Findings 2:
China
The aim of using the VIF procedure is to test and measure the multi-collinearity
between dependent variables and independent variables. The purpose of this technique is
to test whether or not the two variables are correlated, and to eliminate the IVs that are
strongly correlated – scores greater than 5.
The following table shows statistically the Variance Inflation Factors (VIF) method
for China. Accordingly, based on the above study, it is shown that all variables scored
below 5 in the Centered VIF, where the Industrial Production Index (LNIPI) scores
1.973677, the Consumer Price Index (LNCPI) scores 1.747217 and the Bank Lending Rate
(LNBLR) scores 1.394005. As a result, these independent variables do not suffer from a
multicollinearity problem due to a weak correlation between them and resulting in no
deletion of independent variables.
Serial Correlation Test is used to verify if the term error in the time series regression
is randomly distributed and not clustered over a period of time. Therefore, the Durbin
Watson (DW) test, the Breusch Godfrey LM test and the Newey-West technique are used
to detect autocorrelation in residues that could influence the validity of the Multiple
42
Regression Model. In order to conduct this test, the null hypothesis must be derived first
and the aim is to reject the null hypothesis, that is:
The statistical table above shown the OLS Display of China country. Based on the
result given, the Durbin Watson Statistic scores 0.206935, which illustrate that it is lower
than a lower Durbin (dL). Therefore, it resulting that the error terms are suffer from serial
correlation, thus, we do not reject the null hypothesis. This is due to the fact that the DW
statistic should scores between 1 (lower Durbin) and 4 (upper Durbin) to show that the
residuals are not serially correlated. Therefore, we may proceed to the next autocorrelation
test – Breusch Godfrey LM.
43
Moving onto the next serial correlation test, Breusch Godfrey LM test. In order to check
for serial correlation, the DW test statistic must follow the Chi-Square distribution.
The diagram above shows the China Breusch-Godfrey Serial Correlation Test for
the second order serial correlation test. It indicates, therefore, that the probability value of
Chi-Square Distribution, 0.0000, is less than 0.05, the chosen point, thus interpreting that
the serial correlation still exists in the terms of error. As for the correction in the residuals,
the third autocorrelation test should be performed – Newey-West procedure.
Newey-West Procedure is then, proceed when the time series still suffers a serial
correlation problem in the second order, which where, we do not have enough evidence to
reject the null hypothesis.
44
Table 4.2.2.3.2 displays the Ordinary Least Square Method Newey, a fixed display
for China derived from E-views. According to the statistical tests, the error terms are now
corrected in the Newey-West study, which is significantly higher than the previous Durbin
Watson in the first order (see Table 4.2.2.3.1).
In the Newey-West check, the corrected error conditions for each variable are
0.469622 for the industrial production Index, 0.157484 for the Consumer Price Index and
0.119868 for the Bank Lending Rate. Nevertheless, the typical defects in the first order
form are 0.297300 for IPI, 0.076356 for CPI and 0.068870 for BLR.
As a consequence, the third order autocorrelation test shows that the error terms no
longer suffer from a serial correlation problem. It means that we have definite evidence to
dismiss the null hypothesis that the terms of the error are not serially associated and
uniformly distributed.
The analysis is then proceed to the third diagnostic test, which is, Normality Test
on Residuals. This method is used to ensure that the residuals are normally distributed in
order to perform parametric tests later in multiple regression analysis. Thus, to carry out
this test, we must use the Jarque-Bera (JB) test method and the null hypothesis must be
developed and be rejected.
45
In Jarque-Bera (JB) Test, the data analysis should displayed a plotted Histogram
graph on the E-views program.
Country. Based on the histogram, the p-value of Jarque-Bera test is 0.000627, lower than
the significant value of 0.05. In order to ensure that the residuals are normally distributed,
the Jarque-Bera p-value must be less than 0.05, and for that reason, we are able to reject
the null hypothesis and conclude that the residuals are normally distributed for this time
series model.
After passing all three diagnostic tests that we have done before, we will proceed
to the Multiple Regression Analysis, which will explain the relationship between the two
variables, the dependent variable and multiple independent variables using the OLS test.
In order to conduct Multiple Regression Analysis, all data must be in the form of natural
logarithm (LN) and since there is no withdrawal of independent variable during the first
diagnostic check – VIF test, all variables are included.
46
Table 4.2.4 shows the China Ordinary Least Square display for the Multiple Regression
Analysis. In this analysis, Money Supply (LNMS) is the dependent variable (y) while
Economic Growth proxy (LNIPI), Inflation Rate proxy (LNCPI) and Interest Rate proxy
(LNBLR) are the independent variables (x). According to result above, all independent
variables are significant as the P-value of each is less than 0.05 or 5%
Dependent Variable: Money Supply (MS2). From the equation above, it conveys that
Economic Growth (IPI) and Inflation Rate (CPI) have positive relationship with Money
Supply (MS), meanwhile, Interest Rate (BLR) has negative relationship with Money
Supply (MS).
47
Coefficients (𝛽)
If the Money Supply increases by 1%, the Economic Growth (IPI) will increases
by 1.87%. This shows that Economic Growth is significant, and has a positive relationship
with Money Supply.
If the Money Supply increases by 1%, the Inflation Rate (CPI) will increases by
6.80%. This shows that Inflation Rate is significant, and has a positive relationship with
Money Supply.
If the Money Supply increases by 1%, the Interest Rate (BLR) will decreases by
0.01%. This shows that Inflation Rate is insignificant, and has a negative relationship with
Money Supply.
The constant value explains that value of dependent variable, Money Supply is -
23.24568 when all independent variables, Economic Growth (IPI), Inflation Rate (CPI)
and Interest Rate (BLR) are value to zero.
48
Interest Rate (BLR): Interest Rate is insignificant. P-value is more than the chosen
significance level.
49
Referring to the t-test, it is proven that we have enough evidence to reject only first
and second null hypothesis of the variables because the p-value is less than chosen
significance level, that is, 0.05. As for that reason, we are able to deduce that only
Economic Growth and Inflation Rate have a strong relationship in influencing the
movement of Money Supply in China.
1. Hypothesis 1
𝐻0 = There is no significant relationship between at least one of macroeconomic
variables and money supply in China.
𝐻1 = There is a significant relationship between at least one of macroeconomic
variables and money supply in China.
50
Findings 3:
Bangladesh
From the table above, statically show the Variance Inflation Factors (VIF)
procedure for Bangladesh country. All of the data set are in natural logarithm form (LN),
the full raw tabulated data and logarithm data will be disclosed in appendices. Hence,
according to above analysis, shows that all of the variables scored lower than 5 in Centered
VIF, whereby, Industrial Production Index (LNIPI) scores 1.675207, Consumer Price
Index (LNCPI) scores 1.375386 and Bank Lending Rate (LNBLR) scores 1.267049.
Therefore, these independent variables do not suffer with multicollinearity problem due to
low correlation among them and resulting no withdrawal of independent variables.
51
Serial Correlation Test is used to check whether the error term in the time series
regression is randomly distributed and not correlated over a period. Therefore, Durbin
Watson (DW) test, Breusch Godfrey LM test and Newey-West Procedure are used to detect
autocorrelation in residuals that could affect the validity of Multiple Regression Model. In
order to conduct this test, the null hypothesis must be derived first and the aim is to reject
the null hypothesis, that is:
From the table above shown the OLS Display of Bangladesh country. Based on the
result given, the Durbin Watson Statistic scores 1.876098 which illustrate that it is between
1 until 4 which is 1 - Lower Dublin (dL) and 4 – Upper Dublin (dU). Therefore, it resulting
that the error terms do not suffer from serial correlation, thus, able to reject the null
hypothesis. This is due to the fact that the DW statistic should scores between 1 (lower
Durbin) and 4 (upper Durbin) to show that the residuals are not serially correlated. Thus,
52
we are able to reject the null hypothesis in this first order because the error terms are not
serially correlated.
The analysis then proceeds with third diagnostic test which is Normality Test on
Residuals. This method is used to ensure that the residuals are normally distributed in order
to perform parametric tests later in multiple regression analysis. Thus, to carry out this test,
we must use the Jarque-Bera (JB) test method and the null hypothesis must be developed
and be rejected.
In Jarque-Bera (JB) Test, the data analysis should displayed a plotted Histogram
graph on the E-views program.
53
the null hypothesis and conclude that the residuals are normally distributed for this time
series model.
After passing all three diagnostic checks that we have done before, we proceed to
the Multiple Regression Analysis, which, to elucidate the relationship between both
variables, a dependent variable and multiple independent variables using OLS method. In
order to measure relationships among the variables in time series model, we need to use a
group of natural logarithm data, which is include all independent variable because there
are no withdrawn on the VIF. – VIF test, all variables are included.
Table 4.2.4 displays Bangladesh Ordinary Least Square display for the Multiple
Regression Analysis. In this analysis, Money Supply (LNMS) is the dependent variable
(y), while, Economic Growth proxy by IPI (LNIPI), Inflation Rate proxy by CPI (LNCPI)
and Interest Rate proxy by BLR (LNBLR) are the independent variables (x). According to
result above, Economic Growth proxy by IPI (LNIPI) and Interest rate proxy by (BLR) are
54
significant as the P-value of each is less than 0.05 or 5%. While Inflation Rate proxy by
CPI (LNCPI) is insignificant.
From the equation above, it conveys that Economic Growth (IPI), Inflation Rate
(CPI) and Interest rate (BLR) have positive relationship with Money Supply (MS).
Coefficients (𝛽)
If the Money Supply increases by 1%, the Economic Growth (IPI) will increases
by 1.76%. This shows that Economic Growth is significant, and has a positive relationship
with Money Supply.
If the Money Supply increases by 1%, the Inflation Rate (CPI) will increases by
0.026%. This shows that Inflation Rate is insignificant, and has a positive relationship with
Money Supply.
If the Money Supply increases by 1%, the Interest Rate (BLR) will increase by
0.56%. This shows that Interest rate is significant, and has a positive relationship with
Money Supply.
55
The constant value explains that value of dependent variable, Money Supply is -
5.266247 when all independent variables, Economic Growth (IPI), Inflation Rate (CPI)
and Interest Rate (BLR) are value to zero.
(IPI)
56
Referring to the t-test, it shows that we have enough evidence to reject only the first
and third null hypotheses of the variables because the p-value is less than chosen
significance level, that is, 0.05. With that reason, we are able to deduce that only Economic
Growth and Interest Rate have strong relationship in influencing the movement of Money
Supply in Bangladesh.
57
1. Hypothesis 1
𝐻0 = There is no significant relationship between at least one of macroeconomic
variables and money supply in Bangladesh.
𝐻1 = There is a significant relationship between at least one of macroeconomic
variables and money supply in Bangladesh.
58
Findings 4:
Malaysia
59
The table 4.2.1 above illustrates the Variance Inflation Factors (VIF) procedure for
Malaysia country. All of the data set are in natural logarithm form (LN). Based on the
above analysis, it shows that Industrial Production Index (LNIPI) scores 3.755595 and
Base Lending Rate (LNBLR) scores 4.633335 which are lower than 5 in Centered VIF
with the exception of Consumer Price Index (LNCPI) scores 7.301805. Therefore, these
independent variables do suffer with multicollinearity problem due to high correlation and
resulting to pull back Consumer Price Index (LNCPI) in the table 4.2.2. It evidences of no
severe multicollinearity and they are substantial to remain in time series model.
Serial Correlation Test is utilized to check whether the error term in the time series
regression is randomly distributed and not correlated over a period. In this way, Durbin
Watson (DW) test, Breusch Godfrey LM test and Newey-West Procedure are utilized to
detect autocorrelation in residuals that could affect the results of Multiple Regression
Model. In order to conduct this test, the null hypothesis must be derived first and the aim
is to reject the null hypothesis, that is:
60
The table above shown the OLS Display of Malaysia country. The Durbin Watson (DW)
statistic is a test for autocorrelation in the residuals from a statistical regression analysis.
The Durbin-Watson statistic will always have a value between 0 and 4. In view of the
outcome given, the Durbin Watson Statistic scores 0.186146, which illustrate that it is
lower than a lower Durbin (dL). Therefore, it resulting that the error terms are experience
the serial correlation, thus, unable to reject the null hypothesis. This is because of the way
that the DW statistic should scores between 1 (lower Durbin) and 4 (upper Durbin) to show
that the residuals are not serially correlated. Therefore, we may continue to the following
autocorrelation test – Breusch Godfrey LM.
Next, moving onto the second order of serial correlation test which is Breusch
Godfrey LM test. In order to check for serial correlation, the DW test statistic must follow
the Chi-Square distribution.
61
Newey-West Procedure is then, continue when the time series still suffers a serial
correlation problem in the second order, which where, we need more proof to reject the
null hypothesis.
62
The table 4.2.2.3.2 shows an Ordinary Least Square Method Newey fixed display
for Malaysia country derived from E-views. As indicated by the statistical results, the error
terms are presently corrected in the Newey-West test, whereby it slightly higher than the
previous Durbin Watson in the first order (shown in table 4.2.2.3.1).
In the Newey-West test, the corrected error terms for each variable are, 0.269104
for Industrial Production Index and 0.228283 for Bank Lending Rate. Nonetheless, the
standard errors in the first order form are 0.138572 for IPI and 0.127549 for BLR.
Therefore, the third order autocorrelation test shows that the error terms do not
experience a serial correlation problem any longer. This conclude that we have sufficient
proof to reject the null hypothesis that the error terms are not serially correlated and
randomly distributed.
The analysis is then continuing to the third diagnostic test, which is, Normality Test
on Residuals. This method is utilized to guarantee that the residuals are normally
distributed so as to perform parametric tests later in multiple regression analysis. Thus, to
carry out this test, we must use the Jarque-Bera (JB) test method and the null hypothesis
must be developed and be rejected.
63
64
Subsequent to passing every one of the three diagnostic checks that we have done
before, we continue to the Multiple Regression Analysis, which, to clarify the relationship
between both variables, a dependent variable and multiple independent variables using
OLS method. In order to conduct Multiple Regression Analysis, all data must be in the
form of natural logarithm (LN) and since there is one withdrawal of independent variable
during the first diagnostic check – VIF test, Consumer Price Index (CPI) is excluded.
Table 4.2.4 shows Malaysia Ordinary Least Square display for the Multiple
Regression Analysis. In this analysis, Money Supply (LNMS) is the dependent variable
(y), while, Economic Growth proxy by IPI (LNIPI) and Interest Rate proxy by BLR
(LNBLR) are the independent variables (x). According to result above, all independent
variables are not significant as the P-value of each is more than 0.05 or 5%.
65
From the equation above, it conveys that Economic Growth (IPI) has positive
relationship with Money Supply (MS), meanwhile, Interest Rate (BLR) has negative
relationship with Money Supply (MS).
Coefficients (𝛽)
If the Money Supply increases by 1%, the Economic Growth (IPI) will increases
by 0.048%. This shows that Economic Growth is significant, and has a positive relationship
with Money Supply.
If the Money Supply increases by 1%, the Interest Rate (BLR) will decreases by
1.50%. This shows that Interest Rate is significant, and has a negative relationship with
Money Supply.
The constant value explains that value of dependent variable, Money Supply is
10.66056 when all independent variables, Economic Growth (IPI) and Interest Rate (BLR)
are value to zero.
66
Economic Growth (IPI): The p-value is 0.0000 which interprets at 99% confidence level
67
Referring to the t-test, it is proven that we have enough evidence to not reject all
null hypotheses of the variables because the p-value is more than chosen significance level,
`which is, 0.05. As for that reason, we are able to deduce that Economic Growth and
Interest Rate have less relationship in influencing the movement of Money Supply in
Malaysia.
68
Findings 5:
Philippines
The objective of the VIF procedure is to verify and measure the correlation between
dependent variables and independent variables. The purpose of the application is to test
whether the two variables are correlated or not correlated to each other, and withdraw the
IVs that are highly correlated – scores more than 5.
Table 4.2.1 above shows Variance Inflation Factors (VIF) of all independent
variables, the Industrial Production Index (IPI), the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the
Base Lending Rate (BLR). All data sets are in the form of a natural logarithm (LN). If the
value of the Centered VIF is greater than 5, multicollinearity is severe. Accordingly, from
the above analysis, all variables scored below 5 in the Centered VIF, where the Industrial
Production Index (LNIPI) scored 1.747712, the Consumer Price Index (LNCPI) scored
4.499264 and the Bank Lending Rate (LNBLR) scored 4.279215. Thus, the variance
inflation factor of all independent variables shows which multi - collinearity is not severe.
69
Serial Correlation Test is used to check whether the term error in the time series
regression is distributed randomly and not correlated over a period of time. And hence, the
Durbin Watson (DW) test, the Breusch Godfrey LM test and the Newey-West procedure
are used to identify auto - correlation in residuals that could affect the results of the Multiple
Regression Model. In order to conduct this test, the null hypothesis must be derived first
and the aim is to reject the null hypothesis, that is:
The OLS Display of the Philippines country is shown in the statistical table above. It is
used to determine if there would be a first order series correlation in the error term of the
equation by analyzing the residual value of that equation. Based on the result given, the
Durbin Watson statistic is 0.205004, which shows that it is lower than the lower Durbin
(dL) which is between 1 and 4.
70
Therefore, it shows that this test is suffers a severe serial correlation at 1st order,
thus, unable to reject the null hypothesis. This is due to the fact that the DW statistic should
scores between 1 (lower Durbin) and 4 (upper Durbin) to show that the residuals are not
serially correlated. Therefore, we may proceed to the next autocorrelation test – Breusch
Godfrey LM.
Next is Durbin Watson statistic through LM Test shows a for a second order of
Serial Correlation Test which is Breusch Godfey LM Test, the DW test statistic must
follow the Chi-Square distribution.
The table above the Philippine Breusch-Godfrey shows that the probability value
of Chi-Square Distribution, 0.0000, is less than 0.05 – the chosen level, thus interpreting
that serial correlation still exists. As for the residual correction, the third serial correlation
test – Newey-West procedure should be performed.
71
Newey-West Procedure is then, proceed when the time series still suffers a serial
correlation problem in the second order, which where, we do not have enough evidence to
reject the null hypothesis.
Table 4.2.2.3.1
The above figure shows the Durbin Watson Test for the first order of the Series
Correlation Test. Shows that the standard error is smaller than the Newey Test. As a result,
the Industrial Production Index (IPI) is 0.034589, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is
0.052676 and the Base lending rate (BLR) is 0.043531.
Table 4.2.2.3.2 below shows the Ordinary Least Square Method Newey-West fixed
display for the Philippines country derived from E-views. As per that statistical analysis,
the error terms are now corrected in the Newey-West test, that are slightly higher than the
previous Durbin Watson in the first order (see Table 4.2.2.3.1).
72
Table 4.2.2.3.2
In the Newey-West test, the corrected error terms for each variables are, 0.059974
for Industrial Production Index, 0.095382 for Consumer Price Index and 0.077001 for Bank
Lending Rate.
As a result, the third order of the auto - correlation test shows that the error terms no longer
suffer from a serial correlation problem. This concludes that we have strong evidence to
reject the null hypothesis that the terms with error are not serially correlated and randomly
distributed.
73
The analysis then will proceed to the third diagnostic test, the Residuals Normality
Test. This method is used to make sure that the residual are normally distributed in order
to perform parametric tests later in multiple regression analysis. Therefore, in order to carry
out this test, we have to use the Jarque-Bera (JB) test method, and the null hypothesis must
be developed and rejected.
𝑯𝟎 = Residuals are not normally distributed
𝑯𝟏 = Residuals are normally distributed
In the Jarque-Bera (JB) test, a plotted Histogram graph on the E-views program
will be displayed in the data analysis. The diagram below shows the Residuals of the
Philippines Country Histogram Normality Test. It is used to determine whether sample or
any data group fits the standard normal distribution.
Based on the histogram, the p-value for the Jarque-Bera test is 0.026107, smaller
than the significant value of 0.05. In order to ensure that the residuals are normally
distributed, the Jarque-Bera p-value must be less than 0.05, the mean value must be the
same as the mean value of the Jarque-Bera p-value and the skewness value must be around
74
zero. Therefore, we are in a position to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the
residuals are normally distributed for this time series model.
After passing all three diagnostic checks that we have done before, we proceed to
the Multiple Regression Analysis, which, to evaluate the relationship between both
variables, a dependent variable and multiple independent variables using OLS method. In
order to conduct Multiple Regression Analysis, all data must be in the form of natural
logarithm (LN) and since there is no withdrawal of independent variable during the first
diagnostic check – VIF test, all variables are included.
Table 4.2.4 shows Philippines Ordinary Least Square display for the Multiple
Regression Analysis. In this analysis, Money Supply (LNMS) is the dependent variable
(y), while, Economic Growth proxy by IPI (LNIPI), Inflation Rate proxy by CPI (LNCPI)
and Interest Rate proxy by BLR (LNBLR) are the independent variables (x). According to
result above, all independent variables are significant as the P-value of each is less than
0.05 or 5%
75
𝜺𝒕 (2)
From the equation above, it conveys that Economic Growth (IPI) and Inflation Rate
(CPI) have positive relationship with Money Supply (MS2), meanwhile, Interest Rate
(BLR) has negative relationship with Money Supply (MS2).
Coefficients (𝛽)
If there is an increase in Money Supply by 1%, the Economic Growth (IPI) will
increases by 0.038%. This shows that Economic Growth is significant, and has a positive
relationship with Money Supply.
If there is an increase of Money Supply by 1%, the Inflation Rate (CPI) will
increases by 2.53%. This shows that Inflation Rate is significant, and has a positive
relationship between Money Supply and inflation rate.
If there in Money Supply increase by 1%, the Interest Rate (BLR) will decreases
by 0.26%. This shows that Interest Rate is significant, and has a negative relationship with
Money Supply.
76
The constant value is the value of dependent variable-Money Supply. The value is
-1.240507 when all independent variables, Economic Growth (IPI), Inflation Rate (CPI)
and Interest Rate (BLR) are value to zero.
Economic Growth (IPI): The probability t-test is 0.0000 which is less than 0.05. Based
on the test that has been taken shows that t-test is statistically significant at 1% level of
significance.
Referring to the t-test, it is proven that we have enough evidence to reject all null
hypotheses of the variables because the p-value is less than chosen significance level, that
is, 0.05. As for that reason, we are able to deduce that Economic Growth, Inflation Rate
and Interest Rate have strong relationship in influencing the movement of Money Supply
in Philippines.
78
In order to conduct hypothesis testing using F-Statistics test, we, first need to
develop null and alternative hypothesis in the model.
1. Hypothesis 1
𝐻0 = There is no significant relationship between at least one of macroeconomic
variables and money supply in Philippines.
𝐻1 = There is a significant relationship between at least one of macroeconomic
variables and money supply in Philippines.
Based on the F-test, we can conclude that we have strong evidence to reject the null
hypothesis because the p-value is less than 0.05. Hence, it indicates that there is
independent variables can influence the Money Supply in Philippines.
79
4.3 Conclusion
In conclusion, all the empirical results have been shown clearly in this chapter. We are
using the Ordinary Least Square(OLS) method to identify the relationship between
Economic Growth proxy by Industrial Production Index(IPI), Interest Rate proxy by Base
Lending Rate(BLR) and Inflation Rates proxy by Consumer Price Index(CPI) whether has
relationship with Money Supply or not. Therefore, a few test have been done for the
country of Malaysia, China, Bangladesh and Philippines and Malaysia. There are different
result showed for each country for example for Malaysia the results on the Jarque-Bera
(JB) Test showed that all independent variables are not significant as the P-Value of each
more that 0.05 or 5% and the residual is not normally distributed. While for other countries
– Singapore, China and Bangladesh shows a normally distributed. Last but not least, after
completing the findings analysis and discussion, we finally can know the real relationship
either positive or negative, between macroeconomics variables and money for each country
in Asia. Results summarization and recommendations are the discussed in the next chapter,
Chapter 5.
80
Chapter 5
Conclusion and Recommendation
5.1 Introduction
After analyzing and interpreting all five countries’ results from the regression analysis in
Chapter 4, we may now proceed with conclusion and recommendation to summarize the
whole study regarding the relationship between macroeconomic variables and money
supply (MS2) in selected Asian countries. Those variables are include, economic growth
(IPI), inflation rate (CPI) and interest rate (BLR). With full brief of summarization of the
findings, some relevant recommendations also are proposed for this study.
5.2 Conclusion of the findings
The main objective for this study is to determine the relationship between
macroeconomic variables and money supply is Asia, which, money supply acted as the
dependent variable. The study also aims to examine which significant variables that
influencing money supply in chosen Asian countries. We have also, selected five countries
across Asia, which are, Singapore, China, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Philippines and have
investigated what macroeconomic variables involved in influencing the growth of money
supply 2 (M2/MS2). The results for each findings are tabulated as follows:
Findings 1 - Singapore
Variables Result Relationship
Economic Growth Significant Positive
Inflation Rate Significant Positive
Interest Rate Significant Negative
Findings 2 - China
Variables Result Relationship
Economic Growth Significant Positive
Inflation Rate Significant Positive
Interest Rate Insignificant -
81
Findings 3 - Bangladesh
Variables Result Relationship
Economic Growth Significant Positive
Inflation Rate Insignificant -
Interest Rate Significant Positive
Findings 4 - Malaysia
Variables Result Relationship
Economic Growth Significant Positive
Inflation Rate Insignificant at VIF -
Interest Rate Significant Negative
Findings 5 - Philippines
Variables Result Relationship
Economic Growth Significant Positive
Inflation Rate Significant Positive
Interest Rate Significant Negative
Table 5.2 Results of Findings for Each Country
Based on summarized tabulated data above, it clearly portrays that only
macroeconomic variables in Singapore and Philippines have significant relationship with
money supply. The relationship above explains that, if economic growth and inflation rate
increases at particular rate, money supply will follow and increases at the same rate. As of
negative relationship, if interest rate in both countries decreases at particular rate, resulting
that money supply (M2/MS2) will decreases too.
However, the result for China, Bangladesh and Malaysia are differ, whereby China
resulting an insignificant on interest rate variables. Bangladesh, on the hand, resulting an
insignificant on inflation and it interest interpreting a positive relationship. Malaysia,
however, had encounter a withdrawal of inflation rate variable at the first diagnostic checks
– VIF, which also resulting an insignificant relationship.
Therefore, it can be deduced that only economic growth variable has a significant
relationship with money supply in these Asian countries. It also illustrates that the
relationship between each variables are as well depending on the country itself and the
results are varies and not limited.
82
The results from this study give benefits to the Central Bank about the relationship
between inflation and money supply in Singapore, China, Bangladesh, Malaysia and
Philippine. Firstly, the inflation can boost growth. At time of very low inflation, the
economy may be stuck in a recession. Arguably focusing on a higher rate of inflation can
empower a boost in economic growth. Therefore, the view is controversial because not all
economist would support targeting a higher inflation rate. The government would rather
have moderate inflation than no inflation at all. This is because a moderate inflation rate
reduces the real value of debt. If there is deflation, the real value of debt increases leading
to a squeeze of disposable income. Moderate rate inflation is a sign of a good economy.
With the economic growth, we usually get a degree of inflation.
Consumer Price Index (CPI) are widely used for the index linking of social benefits
such as pensions, unemployment benefits and other government payments, and also as
escalators for adjusting prices in long-term contracts (Geneva, 2004). For the situation in
Singapore, China, Bangladesh and Philippines by taking advantage on the rising CPI,
government wish to expand their capital by issuing money supply at a higher cost. This is
because the positively relationship between inflation and money supply for this countries.
83
84
The results were helpful the future researchers in providing a better understanding
regarding the relationship between interest rate and money supply in Asia countries such
as Singapore, China, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Philippines. Furthermore, this part of the
researched empower future researcher to understand more on how these base lending rates
works to make a different on money supply in Asia countries. Lower interest rates make it
cheaper to borrow. This tends to encourage spending and investment. This leads to higher
aggregate demand (AD) and economic growth. Thus, lower interest rates also make the
cost of borrowing cheaper. It will encourage consumers and firms to take out loans to
finance greater spending and investment.
As for instance, base lending rates had been demonstrated to clarify money supply
in Asia countries. According to IMF data (2019) arranged base lending rates had been
moving relentlessly throughout the last 19 years in Asia countries respectively. Since
predictability in interest rate proxy base lending rates (BLR) brought negative relationship
to the money supply in Singapore, China, Malaysia and Bangladesh.

1. Time
To do a research really need time consuming to collect all data. In the middle of
time, COVID-19 Disease happened and government has applied the Movement
Control Order (MCO) period to all their citizen, as for student we need to attend
online classes and did online consulting for this research which is a bit difficult for
us to understand. We have to managed time properly between attend classes, doing
house chores and find the research data. As we know, to do a research need a long
time in order to find and read the articles or journal to have better understanding.
2. Data collection
We are using several ways to collect all the data for each country but not all the
sources can be used because of the limitations and there are not aligned. As for this
research requires us to use monthly data so we unable to use data from one sources
only because there are some variables that do not have monthly data in their
collection. For example, for Money Supply, M2 we are using data from Computer
and Enterprise Investigations Conference(CEIC) to get the raw data while the other
variables we need to find the data at Trading Economics or the other trusted sources
such as Knoema World’s Data. Therefore, it’s really confusing us and make us to
work in detail to make sure the data are aligned together even though from different
sources.
86
3. Accessibility of data.
We need to ensure this study are effective and all the data collected are correct. But
it is hard for us to gather all the reliable information because some of the resources
are very limited to access. For example, there are some journal or articles that
required us to subscribes or sign up first in order to get the full text. In fact, even
database from UiTM Library itself has limited access to their subscription only.
Therefore, this could limit our resources findings for this study.
87
good and export demand will fall. Therefore, the lower demand in currency will
resulting a lower exchange rate.
