Abstract

This study attempts to answer the question whether the Kirala Lumpur Stock Exchange (K1,SE) is itzformationally efficient with respect to both money and output. The Information Efficient Market ([EM) hypothesis is tested using the Johansen-Juselius multivariate cointegration approach. Stock prices are proxied by the Composite, Industrial, Finance, Property, Platztation and Tit1 indices. The measures of money supply used include the narrowly defined MI and broadly defined M2. Output is proxied by the real Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The empirical results suggest that the stock market is informationally inefficient with respect to M2 and output.
