This study aims to examine the efliciency of the foreign exchange market ( PPWA ) in Malaysia, focusing on the issue of fonmrd exchange rate ( KPWAH) as a predictor offuture spot exchange rate ( KPW AS) . In examining the issue, daily and monthly bilateral data of Ringgit Malaysia ( RM) against US dollar ( AS$) , Pound Sterling (£) , Deutschemark ( DM ) , Japanese Yen ( ¥) , and Singapore dollar (s$) lI'ere used. The data lI'ere also divided into three samples; the lI'hole sample and two sub-samples. The test lI'as carried out using ordinary least squares ( OLS) method.
