That is, the increase in remittance inflows cause the real exchange rate of the rupiah has strengthened (appreciated) in a fairly long period, i.e, up to 5 quarter, and (ii) the appreciation of the real exchange rates of rupiah just increased remittance inflows in the short term, which is about one quarter.
