Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate what affected the post-crisis exchange rates of three ASEAN countries: Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. Our critical departure from previous studies is the use of intra-daily exchange rates. The use of the intra-daily data is useful in removing possible estimation biases which the choice of numéraire may cause. It also contrasts exchange rates when official intervention is active with those when it is not active. We find significant structural breaks in the correlations when the East Asian market is open, which suggest strong monetary and real linkages among the ASEAN countries.
