As an adept economics student specialising in econometrics and statistical analysis, I excel at deriving data-driven insights for strategic decision-making. My expertise lies in dissecting complex economic issues, identifying their root causes, and substantiating improvement recommendations through rigorous analysis.During my academic journey, I conducted a research project focusing on the relationship between changes in world crude oil prices and inflation in Malaysia. By employing the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, I analysed monthly consumer price index (CPI) values and Brent crude oil prices.Surprisingly, the research revealed that fluctuations in global crude oil prices had a limited impact on inflation in Malaysia. This unexpected outcome was attributed to the government's implementation of subsidies, which effectively curbed oil price hikes within the country.These findings underscore the significance of considering broader economic policies and governmental interventions when assessing the potential impact of external factors. My aim is to apply my skills in data analysis, strategic planning, and critical thinking to contribute to an organisation's success and expansion.
