With the help of E-views software. The results of the analysis p there is a structure/path I obtained that the exchange rate variable has a real effect on the BOP (balance sheet), In the structure/path I it is obtained that the exchange rate variable has a real effect on the BOP. While simultaneously (together) it is known that the variables X1, X2, X3, X4, and X5 not significant effect on Y1 (balance of payments).
