Abstract

This study uses the impulse response model from VAR to see the degree of exchange rate pass through (ERPT) to inflation. The Pass Through of exchange rate is defined as the percentage change in inflation either from the import or export side caused by changes in the exchange rate. Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the wholesale trade price index (WPI) are used in this study as the dependent variable and the exchange rate as an independent variable during pandemic conditions using monthly data from Bank Indonesia and the World Bank from March 2020 to May 2022. Using the ERPT formula in the impulse response test to see the degree of pass through of the exchange rate against the CPI and WPI, it was obtained a value of 0.24 and 0,91 respectively which means that a depreciation of the rupiah against the dollar by 1 percent will cause the CPI increase by 0.24 percent and WPI to increase by 0.91 percent. From these results, we can conclude that the ERPT for both the CPI and WPI is incomplete, which means that increase in the price level or inflation is less or not proportional to the change in the exchange rate.
