Industrial Training (MGT666) is a significant component of the course outline provided by the Faculty of Business Administration at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM). This practical training experience requires students to undergo six months of training at a chosen company approved by the faculty's Industrial Training Unit. During this period, students have the opportunity to develop their knowledge, skills, and abilities in a real-world working environment. The internship course serves as a practical training ground for students to gain hands-on experience and prepare for their future careers. Throughout the internship, students are expected to actively participate in organizational activities and professionally complete their assigned tasks. At the end of the 24-week internship period, every student is required to submit an internship report to their faculty advisor. The industrial report is my six-month internship experience at the Department of Finance in the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) located in Kwasa Utama, Kwasa Damansara, from 1st September 2023 to 9th February 2024. As a newcomer to the real world and the workplace, every hour spent at EPF provided me with valuable experiences that will be advantageous for my future profession. Furthermore, this report will display the findings for the dependent and independent variables of The Determinants of Inflation: Evidence from ASEAN. The aim of this paper is to investigate the factors that influence inflation towards ASEAN countries. Five distinct characteristics that were examined for their connections to inflation are the foundation of this investigation. These elements are Exchange Rate, Gross Domestic Product, Money Supply, Foreign Direct Investment and Interest Rate. Data for this study was gathered from ten ASEAN countries and spans the years 2003 through 2022 (20 years). The research approach employed in this study is the Static Panel Data Analysis model, and the data were taken from Refinitv Eikon Datastream in Microsoft Excel. It is shown through the use of fixed effects regression that Money Supply and Interest Rate have a significant influence on the inflation. However, the Exchange Rate, Gross Domestic Product and Foreign Direct Investment show a poor correlation with inflation.
