Abstract | This study examines the relationships among exchange rate, exports, and imports in the Kazakhstan economy using monthly data from November 1993 to October 2022. All variables are non-stationary at levels but become stationary after first differencing, indicating they are integrated of order one, I(1). Granger Causality Analysis suggested that a unidirectional causal relationship from exchange rate to imports and a bidirectional relationship between exports and imports, highlighting their interdependence. Johansen Cointegration Analysis confirmed that the existence of stable long-run relationships among the variables at levels. A VAR(1,9) model further supports these findings, with significant coefficients in the exchange rate equation indicating that lags 3 and 4 of the exchange rate and lag 9 of imports drive depreciation, while lags 6 and 9 of exports promote appreciation through foreign currency inflows. The import equation shows mean-reversion at lag 1 and a linkage with export lags 1 and 8, reflecting export-driven import demand. The export equation indicates mean-reversion at lags 1, 2, 7, 8, and 9 with import lags 4, 5, 8, and 9 boosting exports, likely due to imported inputs for oil production. The VAR model is stable, with all inverse roots inside the unit circle, ensuring reliable dynamics. |
