The purpose of the formation is to reduce exchange rate uncertainty and to avoid exchange rate misalignment among the ASEAN member countries. This research intends to investigate the extent of optimum currency area (OCA) variables and financial factors (FF) works within the context of ASEAN-3 countries with US Dollar used as anchor currencies, given their importance being major trading partners with the ASEAN countries and being the global demand currencies.
