Apart from higher fuel costs denting the fiscal discipline of Centre, rising oil could also pinch consumers.
This will likely add more pressure on Central government to cut the taxes on fuel or subsidising the oil marketing companies OMCs. The climbing trend of oil prices is likely to continue in the short-term, say analysts. However, it is not going to come anytime soon. Drillers in the US are taking advantage of the increase in prices and added five new oil wells last week for the fifth straight weekly increase in oil and gas rigs.
Never miss a story! Consequences for growth. The impact of higher oil prices on global growth will depend on two elements: i the factors responsible for the movement supply, demand, or others and ii the balance between the positive impact on oil-exporting economies and the negative impact on importers of crude oil.
Traditional estimates, such as those by the IMF which we share in the fifth chart, implicitly assume that the negative consequences on importers of oil with a higher marginal propensity to consume have far outweighed the positive effect on the income of oil exporters. However, whereas these estimates have focused on analysing the consequences of a reduction in oil supply, we have just seen that factors related to demand have also played an important role in the recent trends and, therefore, can mitigate the negative impact of the rise in the price of oil.
In this regard, the empirical study by Cashin et al. Finally, in addition to the mitigating effect of demand, there have been other changes in the traditional transmission mechanisms. Firstly, oil has become less important in the global supply chain, both due to GDP being less energy-intensive and due to oil accounting for a smaller portion of the total energy consumed.
Secondly, the oil-exporting economies currently have smaller fiscal buffers, meaning that their propensity to spend the additional revenues generated from oil may be greater. Finally, the irruption of the shale sector in the US has resulted in much of the US economy now benefiting from higher oil prices. On the whole, all these elements suggest that the impact of rising oil prices on the global economy could be less significant than traditionally expected, and they also help to explain why global GDP has remained strong in recent quarters.
Part of the reason for the agreed production cuts being exceeded is the major economic crisis which Venezuela has been suffering from and the collapse of its oil production: in May , the country supplied , barrels per day less than in May
