Abstract
This study examines external balance and budget in Malaysia. The unit root test results
show that the variables examined are a mixture of stationary and non-stationary
variables. The bounds testing results show that there is a long-run relationship between
external balance and its determinants, including budget, and also between budget and its
determinants, including external balance. Moreover, the results of the causality analysis
show that the current account targeting hypothesis and the Ricardian equivalence
hypothesis dominate the relationship between external balance and budget. Short-run
and long-run measures are needed to address external imbalances. A healthy external
balance is important for sustainable economic growth.
