Abstract: This research evaluates the presence of long memory or long-term dependence on the Malaysian exchange rate. Daily, weekly and monthly data are evaluated against the US dollar (USD) covering from January 2005 to March 2018. Evaluation of long memory is based on the Geweke and Porter-Hudak estimation and the Maximum Likelihood Estimation. The result suggests the presence of long memory on all the daily, weekly and monthly data. Results show that shock on the Malaysian exchange rate persist longer than expected. The forecast capability also concludes that addition of the long memory presence from ARIMA model to ARFIMA model could improve the model forecast.
