Abstract

This paper attempts to examine the relationship between Exchange Rate (ER) and Economic Growth (EG) proxied by Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP) in Bangladesh for a period of 41 years ranges from 1973 to 2013 by using time series econometric technique. The empirical results show that there is a significant positive correlation between ER and EG. The results also advocate the presence of long-run equilibrium relationship between ER and EG. This is evidenced from Granger’s Causality Test that there is a bi-directional causality runs through ER to EG and EG to ER.
