Central banks in emerging countries generally question the effect of exchange rate passthrough into price levels in the national economy in order to implement monetary policy effectively. This paper is conducted in response to these macroeconomic concerns. Five founding members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), for which all the required data are available, are included in our sample with up-to-date time-series data until 2016. We use a structural vector autoregressive model in this study. Several interesting findings emerged from our study. First, we find incomplete exchange rate pass-through to domestic prices, and the producer price index is found to be affected more than the consumer price index. Second, the exchange rate shocks are found to have an immediate effect within one quarter on producer prices in all the countries. Third, variance in domestic prices is found to be caused mainly by shocks from oil prices, output gaps, and exchange rates, with some differences in the extent of effects across countries. Fourth, in these five countries, interest rates appear to play a minor role in explaining the inflation rate. We recommend that policy makers pursuing price stability in the economy focus on exchange rates and interest rate policy with great caution.

Purpose This study aims to examine the impact of inbound logistics on dynamic supply chain capabilities and, subsequently, on supply chain resilience in the Vietnamese textile industry. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual framework based on a resource-based view was empirically tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling and data collected from 215 Vietnamese textile enterprises from December 2021 to March 2022. Findings The research shows that inbound logistics capability positively affects dynamic supply chain capabilities. In particular, the study has ratified reengineering as the chief factor that textile firms should consider when building a resilient supply chain. Originality/value This study considers the Vietnamese textile industry to assess the indirect effect of inbound logistics on supply chain resilience through dynamic supply chain capabilities in a theoretical sense while assisting managers in comprehending the functions of supply chain collaboration, agility and reengineering as the foundation for supply chain resilience in a managerial sense.
