Increased output from Libya
Because of the civil war in Libya, oil production had decreased to 150,000 – 250,000
barrels per day. It now produces 1 million barrels a day, which may go upto 1.2
million barrels a day by next year.
2
US Oil Boom
Oil Production in the US has increased as Shale oil production has gone up to 4
million barrels per day. As such, US import of oil from OPEC has reduced by half.
1
Increased Global Supply
Global supply of oil has surpassed the global demand,
which has resulted in the fall of prices.

Tepid Asian Demand
Countries in Asia are reducing oil subsidies, as a result of which oil demand has
fallen, which in turn has resulted in increased oil prices, thereby, reducing demand.
5
Negative European Economic Outlook
A slowdown is expected in Eurozone economies in 2015. The growth forecast has
been cut down by IMF to 0.8% in 2014 and 1.3% in 2015.

On November 27, a big meeting was held by the Cartel,
and countries, like Venezuela and Iran, proposed that
the Cartel (mainly Saudi Arabia) decreases oil
production in order to maintain stability in the oil prices.
1
Just to ensure it maintains its market share, Saudi
Arabia, the world's largest oil producer, did not agree to
reducing oil production and was willing to let prices
plummet.

High oil prices are one of the major factors affecting the Iranian economy.
Severe economic problems may result if oil prices keep falling.
Iran may decide to reach a nuclear deal with the US to ease economic sanctions.

This will translate into
accelerated economic
growth to a
forecasted 3.5% next
year.
Falling oil prices will
cause gas prices to
go down, which will
result in increased
consumer spending.

Subsidy
• India’s subsidy bill zoomed to Rs 2.16 trillion or 2.5% of GDP .
• It was due to two reason:
High Crude Oil prices
Fertilizer subsidies, primarily on account of imported non-urea fertilizers.
• Last year budget government pegged curde oil price of brent at $90. This year they kept the same at $115.
• Next year government has reduced the budgeted amount for oil subsidy to Rs43580 crore.

Steps taken by the govt. and RBI
What Govt. did ?
1. Provided huge amount of subsidies to oil companies to keep them solvent.
2. This increased domestic prices of diesel and petrol.
3. Start looking for alternate energy options to prevent future oil shocks.
What RBI did?
Increase in CRR, Repo rates.
(i.e. used monetary tools to calm down the heat)
