Foreign exchange reserves can be an important indicator to see how far the country can trade internationally and to show the strong weakness of a country's economic fundamentals. The size of foreign exchange reserves is influenced by several factors, one of which is export and import activities. This study aims to identify the effect of exports and imports on the position of Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves. The object used in this study is the Indonesian state with a period of 25 years from 1991 to 2015. This study uses a quantitative approach with the Vector Autoregression method (VAR) using Eviews 9.
