The Impact of the Rupiah/Dollar Exchange Rate, Inflation Against the SBI Interest Rate During the New Normal Period
The Covid 19 pandemic has changed the order of Indonesian society and even the world; to prevent the spread of this virus, a new lifestyle or "New normal" is implemented, in which people can still do activities outside the home while adhering to health protocols. As a result of the economic sector's pandemic condition, the rupiah exchange rate against the dollar fell, as did inflation and interest rate values. The goal of this research is to determine the impact of the Rupiah exchange rate, inflation, and interest rates during the New Normal Period. The New Normal period, as we know, begins in early June 2020, so researchers plan to collect data from June 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. The information used is skunder data. This study used saturated sampling or a census sample, which is a technique for determining "samples where all members of the population are used as samples." The research method used is quantitative research. The test is a multiple linear regression analysis that begins with a traditional assumption test that includes a normality test and a multicollinearity test. The findings revealed that during the New Normal period, the rupiah/dollar exchange rate had a positive and significant effect on SBI interest rates. During the New Normal period, inflation has a positive and significant impact on SBI interest rates. During the New Normal, the Exchange/Dollar Rate and the Inflation Rate both have a positive effect on the SBI Interest Rate.
