The importance of foreign exchange rate is to determine the economic performance and the well-being of all people residing on any particular country. The consideration is given to the foreign exchange policies because it is an important macroeconomic variable to ensure its appropriateness of economic policy making. The main objective of this study is to analyse the determinants of exchange rate in selected Southeast Asian countries by examining money supply, foreign direct investment, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation rate and interest rate as the independent variables. The study is conducted for a period of eleven (l l) years from 2009 until 2019. The data used in this study is a secondary data and the countries selected are Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines, and Singapore.
