There are huge numbers of macroeconomic variables, but out of these four variables that is, Government bond, Inflation rate, Unemployment rate and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) have been included in this study. These variables have been taken as an independent variables and euro exchange rate has been selected as a dependent variable.
