The empirical results based on Johansen multivariate cointegration test reveal that there is a long-run relationship among these indices. The long-run estimations indicate that industrial production and import prices are statistically significant determinants of consumer price index, which indicates that Malaysian inflation is due to demand-pull and international transmission, or imported inflation in the long-run. However, the higher producer price is associated with higher inflation or costpush inflation in the short-run.
