Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the stability of imported commodity prices in Indonesia, by focusing on the dynamics of the relationship between the rupiah exchange rate and the price of imported commodities in a certain period. This study uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis methods to see the causal relationship between exchange rate fluctuations and imported commodity prices. The secondary data used includes the exchange rate of the rupiah against the US dollar and the prices of several strategic imported commodities such as food, energy, and other consumer goods, collected from official sources such as Bank Indonesia and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The results show that exchange rate fluctuations have a significant influence on changes in imported commodity prices, where depreciation of the rupiah exchange rate tends to cause an increase in the price of imported commodities, while appreciation of the exchange rate tends to reduce the price of these commodities.
