Speech Title: Determinants of Exchange Rate and the
Macroeconomic Condition: Thailand Case
Speech Abstract: Recently, Thailand’s currency (Thai
baht) has been seen strong (appreciated) relatively to most
currencies. Thai Baht is getting stronger even though the
Thai economy is slowing down and export has been recording a
negative growth rate. The study empirically examines the
determinants of the exchange rate in the short run and long
run. Conceptually, any situation either an increasing supply
of foreign currency or decreasing demand for foreign
currency can cause a fallen value of the foreign currency or
vice versa. Two main findings indicates that: (i) The
exchange rate is mainly determined by the amount of foreign
reserve or dollars, real interest rate, the net inflow of
foreign direct investment, and economic growth rate in the
long run. (ii) Structurally, foreign currency (reserve) is
strongly decreasing exchange rate of Thai baht (less value
of the foreign currency). Besides, an increased GDP will
increase the exchange rate (baht depreciation). Finally, the
study found that trade surplus does not significantly affect
the exchange rate. The central bank has realized the need
for a more flexible financial measure by relaxing the rules
to facilitate capital outflow to effectively lessen pressure
on the strong Thai baht.
