2MACROECONOMICS ASSIGNMENT
Introduction
The performance of the economies across the world, in the contemporary periods
depend on a variety of endogenous as well as exogenous factors. While the endogenous
factors comprise of the dynamics in the different aspects within the economy affecting the
economic variables working in the economy, the exogenous factors generally indicate
towards the different international phenomena and incidents happening outside the
geographical boundaries of the countries but having considerable impacts on the economic
activities and the dynamics of the same in the concerned countries (Mankiw, 2014). The
macroeconomic traits and the overall performance of the economy of a country can be
primarily observed with the help of the working of the primary economic indicators like the
GDP growth rate, rate of inflation, rate of unemployment, import export dynamics, balance of
payments and other economic variables.
Keeping this into consideration, the concerned report tries to analyse the current
economic situations of one of the highly developing and one of the newly emerging dominant
economies in the global scenario, Malaysia, with the help of the concerned article. As can be
seen from the concerned article as well as from the other empirical evidences, in the last few
months, the country has been experiencing considerably high rate of inflation rates, as
compared to the general trends of price level and inflation in the country.
Taking this particular macroeconomic problem of the concerned country into
consideration, the concerned report tries to analyse the trends in the inflation rates of the
country and the report also tries to interpret and analyse the factors affecting the rates, with
the help of the statistical data collected for this purpose.
