This document discusses using regression analysis to analyze factors that influence exchange rates in Pakistan. It identifies major factors like public debt, inflation rate, interest rate, balance of payments, and current account deficit that can impact exchange rates. Regression analysis is a statistical method that allows understanding the relationship between independent variables, like these economic factors, and the dependent variable of exchange rate. It can be used to predict future exchange rates based on historical data from 2002-2022 for Pakistan. The goal is to identify which variables have the most significant impact on exchange rates.

Exchange rates can have a significant impact on global trade, investment,
and economic growth. By analyzing exchange rate data, we can better understand the factors that influence exchange rates and make informed decisions about investments and trade. The problem we're trying to solve is to identify the variables that have the most significant impact on exchange rates and to use this information to predict future exchange rates. MAJOR FACTORS AFFECTING EXCHANGE RATE Public debt: This refers to the total amount of debt owed by the government of Pakistan to its creditors. A high level of public debt can signal to investors that a country is at risk of defaulting on its loans, which can lead to a decrease in the value of its currency. Inflation rate: This measures the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising in an economy. High inflation rates can lead to a decrease in the value of a country's currency as it becomes less attractive to foreign investors. Interest rate: This is the rate at which the central bank of Pakistan lends money to commercial banks. Higher interest rates can make a country's currency more attractive to foreign investors, as they can earn a higher return on their investments. Balance of payments: This is the difference between a country's exports and imports of goods and services, as well as other financial transactions with other countries. A deficit in the balance of payments can lead to a decrease in the value of a country's currency, as it indicates that more money is flowing out of the country than is coming in. Current account deficit: This is a specific component of the balance of payments that measures the difference between a country's exports and imports of goods and services. A current account deficit can lead to a decrease in the value of a country's currency as it signals that the country is relying on foreign capital to fund its consumption. Changes in economic growth, political stability, and global economic conditions can all impact the exchange rate of Pakistan. Regression ? A statistical method used to analyze the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. The goal of regression analysis is to understand how the independent variables are related to the dependent variable and to create a model that can predict the value of the dependent variable based on the values of the independent variables. It is a powerful tool for understanding how different factors are related to a particular outcome and for predicting future outcomes based on historical data. R-squared value: (Coefficient Of Determination)The R-squared value is a statistical measure that represents the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable . a higher value indicating a better fit between the independent variables and the dependent variable. Coefficients: In a regression, coefficients represent the size and direction of the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. A positive coefficient indicates a positive relationship (i.e., as the independent variable increases. Significance levels: The significance level (also known as the p-value) is a measure of how confident we can be that the relationship between each independent variable and the dependent variable is not due to chance. If the p-value for an independent variable is less than 0.05, we can conclude that the relationship between that variable and the dependent variable is statistically significant DATA:- “2002 – 2022(Pakistan)” Will be using multiple regression analysis to determine the relationship between exchange rates and other variables. The model will include variables such as inflation, interest rates, and GDP , Public Debt , Balance of payments. Thank You
