Crude Oil

Is the raw unprocessed liquid form that comes out of theground It is also known as petroleum Crude oil is a fossil fuelmeaning that it was made nat-urally from decaying plants and animals living millions of yearsago Crude oilsvary in color from clear to tar-black and in viscosity from water to almost solid

Fuel

Any substance (liquid solid or gas) that releases its stored heat

energy and turns it into actual heat and motion energy whentreated in a certain way such as by burning or by combustion inan engine When the fuel is burned it is destroyed and leaves uswith carbon emissions

Fuel prices

Typically displayed in either Price Per Liter (Litre) in the UKEurope Australia New Zealand and South Africa and Price Per Gallon in the US and Canada

Fuel economy

Also known as Fuel Efficiency can be best described as ways todrive carefully smoother and effeciently to get achieve moremiles per gallon

Petrol

Also known as Gasoline refined from Crude oil and is approx

15 lighter in density than petroluem diesel A mixture of various hydrocarbons used as a fuel

241)-Founding of OPECThe Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)

consisted

of thirteen countries including Iran seven Arabcountries plus Ecuador Indonesia Nigeria Angolaand Venezuela OPEC had

been formed onSeptember 14 1960 at the Baghdad conference

It was made to protest pressure by major oil companies(mostly owned by US British and Dutch nationals) to reduce

oil prices and payments to producers At first it had operated as an informal

bargaining unit for the sale of oil by Third World nations It confined itsactivities to gaininga larger share of the revenues produced by Western oil

companies and greater control over the levels of production However in the early

1970s it beganto exert its strength

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

tumbled 398 cents to $685 per 1000 cubic feet

XXVI In London December Brent crude tumbled 6 percent or

$354 to $5554 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange

DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2839

41)-OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

PAKISTAN ECONOMY

411)-CURRENT SITUATION

bull On month-on-month basis Pakistanrsquos oil import bill rose

to 1406 billion dollars during August 2008 from 9957million dollars in the corresponding month of last year

witnessing surge in oil import prices both in Arabian LightCrude and frequently hike in crude oil prices in westerncountries during the period under review

bull Given domestic shortages and emerging political

concerns for strategic reserves the countryrsquos food importbill increased to 2521 million dollars with an increase of 518 million dollars during the second month of currentfinancial year from 2003 million dollars in August 2007

However official sources and economic experts areforeseeing that currently with international crude oiltrading close to $92 per barrel 7 months low Pakistancan save $1-15b in oil import bill This will have apositive impact on current account deficit for theupcoming months of FY09 The country imported $41869million worth of wheat which along with price hikes of palm oil and other products raised the food import bill to$51m during August 2008

bull The State Bank of Pakistan reported on Tuesday that in

the category of petroleum group countryrsquos importpayments on petroleum products increased to $7542million in August 2008 against $3552 million in August2007 while country had spent $652 million on the import

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2939

of petroleum crude

bull It is important to note that in August 2008 petroleum

products with petroleum crude and palm oil in food group

imports requirements registered a strong growth ascompared to slowdown in import growth of thesecommodities witnessed during last month of FY09 (July2008)

bull The total machinery grouprsquos import payments swelled to

$4529 million in the month of August 2008 against 4331million in August 2007 showing an increase growth inpower generating machinery and textile machinery which

surged to $ 76631 million and 93196 millionrespectively during the course of period under review

bull In machinery group mobile phones growth substantially

hampered by 21 million dollars to 18351 million dollarsin August 2008 to 39380 million dollars in August 2007According to official data on foreign trade trade deficit of the country had widened by 4767 percent to 3522billion dollars during July-August 2008 from 2385 billiondollars in July-August 2007 on year-on-year basis amidrecord acceleration in the import growth caused byinflated petroleum group imports increased import of wheat and slowdown in export growth

bull During August the second month of the current financial

year trade deficit amounted at 18777 billion dollarsshowing an increase growth of 1418 percent against1644 billion dollars in the last month of prevalent fiscal(July 2008) During the particular course of past month

(August 2008) country witnessed record volume of tradedeficit soared by 4637 percent to $1877b from $1282bin the corresponding month of FY08

8142019 economics project of oil

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

5)-Analysis of the impact of

high oil price on the GlobalEconomy

51)-Oil Price Shocks and the

Economy

511)-oil price shocks affect economic activity

bull Eight out of ten post WW2 recessions followed by oil price

shocks

bull Statistical evidence links oil prices to inflation higher

interest rates and higher unemployment rates

bull Consensus An inverse statistical relationship

between oil price changes and economic activity

512)-Purchasing power effects

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3639

bull Oil price increase shifts purchasing power from oil-

importing nations to oil-exporting nations

bull On net demand for oil importerrsquos goods reduced

bull Lower consumption lower GDP growth higher saving and

lower interest rates

513)-Sensitive is GDP to oil price shocks

bull Empirical studies The economyrsquos sensitivity to oil priceshocks has declined in past decade

bull Monetary policy can shape how oil price shock isexperienced slower growth versus higher inflation

bull

514)-Economy relationship symmetric

bull Rising oil prices seem to retard economic activity more

than falling oil prices stimulate it

bull Possible explanation more economic adjustment costs and

coordination problems with rising oil prices

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

Crude Oil

Is the raw unprocessed liquid form that comes out of theground It is also known as petroleum Crude oil is a fossil fuelmeaning that it was made nat-urally from decaying plants and animals living millions of yearsago Crude oilsvary in color from clear to tar-black and in viscosity from water to almost solid

Fuel

Any substance (liquid solid or gas) that releases its stored heat

energy and turns it into actual heat and motion energy whentreated in a certain way such as by burning or by combustion inan engine When the fuel is burned it is destroyed and leaves uswith carbon emissions

Fuel prices

Typically displayed in either Price Per Liter (Litre) in the UKEurope Australia New Zealand and South Africa and Price Per Gallon in the US and Canada

Fuel economy

Also known as Fuel Efficiency can be best described as ways todrive carefully smoother and effeciently to get achieve moremiles per gallon

Petrol

Also known as Gasoline refined from Crude oil and is approx

15 lighter in density than petroluem diesel A mixture of various hydrocarbons used as a fuel

consisted

of thirteen countries including Iran seven Arabcountries plus Ecuador Indonesia Nigeria Angolaand Venezuela OPEC had

been formed onSeptember 14 1960 at the Baghdad conference

It was made to protest pressure by major oil companies(mostly owned by US British and Dutch nationals) to reduce

oil prices and payments to producers At first it had operated as an informal

bargaining unit for the sale of oil by Third World nations It confined itsactivities to gaininga larger share of the revenues produced by Western oil

companies and greater control over the levels of production However in the early

1970s it beganto exert its strength

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

tumbled 398 cents to $685 per 1000 cubic feet

XXVI In London December Brent crude tumbled 6 percent or

$354 to $5554 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange

DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2839

41)-OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

PAKISTAN ECONOMY

411)-CURRENT SITUATION

bull On month-on-month basis Pakistanrsquos oil import bill rose

to 1406 billion dollars during August 2008 from 9957million dollars in the corresponding month of last year

witnessing surge in oil import prices both in Arabian LightCrude and frequently hike in crude oil prices in westerncountries during the period under review

bull Given domestic shortages and emerging political

concerns for strategic reserves the countryrsquos food importbill increased to 2521 million dollars with an increase of 518 million dollars during the second month of currentfinancial year from 2003 million dollars in August 2007

However official sources and economic experts areforeseeing that currently with international crude oiltrading close to $92 per barrel 7 months low Pakistancan save $1-15b in oil import bill This will have apositive impact on current account deficit for theupcoming months of FY09 The country imported $41869million worth of wheat which along with price hikes of palm oil and other products raised the food import bill to$51m during August 2008

bull The State Bank of Pakistan reported on Tuesday that in

the category of petroleum group countryrsquos importpayments on petroleum products increased to $7542million in August 2008 against $3552 million in August2007 while country had spent $652 million on the import

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2939

of petroleum crude

bull It is important to note that in August 2008 petroleum

products with petroleum crude and palm oil in food group

imports requirements registered a strong growth ascompared to slowdown in import growth of thesecommodities witnessed during last month of FY09 (July2008)

bull The total machinery grouprsquos import payments swelled to

$4529 million in the month of August 2008 against 4331million in August 2007 showing an increase growth inpower generating machinery and textile machinery which

surged to $ 76631 million and 93196 millionrespectively during the course of period under review

bull In machinery group mobile phones growth substantially

hampered by 21 million dollars to 18351 million dollarsin August 2008 to 39380 million dollars in August 2007According to official data on foreign trade trade deficit of the country had widened by 4767 percent to 3522billion dollars during July-August 2008 from 2385 billiondollars in July-August 2007 on year-on-year basis amidrecord acceleration in the import growth caused byinflated petroleum group imports increased import of wheat and slowdown in export growth

bull During August the second month of the current financial

year trade deficit amounted at 18777 billion dollarsshowing an increase growth of 1418 percent against1644 billion dollars in the last month of prevalent fiscal(July 2008) During the particular course of past month

(August 2008) country witnessed record volume of tradedeficit soared by 4637 percent to $1877b from $1282bin the corresponding month of FY08

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

51)-Oil Price Shocks and the

Economy

511)-oil price shocks affect economic activity

bull Eight out of ten post WW2 recessions followed by oil price

shocks

bull Statistical evidence links oil prices to inflation higher

interest rates and higher unemployment rates

bull Consensus An inverse statistical relationship

between oil price changes and economic activity

512)-Purchasing power effects

bull Oil price increase shifts purchasing power from oil-

importing nations to oil-exporting nations

bull On net demand for oil importerrsquos goods reduced

bull Lower consumption lower GDP growth higher saving and

lower interest rates

513)-Sensitive is GDP to oil price shocks

bull Empirical studies The economyrsquos sensitivity to oil priceshocks has declined in past decade

bull Monetary policy can shape how oil price shock isexperienced slower growth versus higher inflation

bull

514)-Economy relationship symmetric

bull Rising oil prices seem to retard economic activity more

than falling oil prices stimulate it

bull Possible explanation more economic adjustment costs and

coordination problems with rising oil prices

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3939

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

Crude Oil

Is the raw unprocessed liquid form that comes out of theground It is also known as petroleum Crude oil is a fossil fuelmeaning that it was made nat-urally from decaying plants and animals living millions of yearsago Crude oilsvary in color from clear to tar-black and in viscosity from water to almost solid

Fuel

Any substance (liquid solid or gas) that releases its stored heat

energy and turns it into actual heat and motion energy whentreated in a certain way such as by burning or by combustion inan engine When the fuel is burned it is destroyed and leaves uswith carbon emissions

Fuel prices

Typically displayed in either Price Per Liter (Litre) in the UKEurope Australia New Zealand and South Africa and Price Per Gallon in the US and Canada

Fuel economy

Also known as Fuel Efficiency can be best described as ways todrive carefully smoother and effeciently to get achieve moremiles per gallon

Petrol

Also known as Gasoline refined from Crude oil and is approx

15 lighter in density than petroluem diesel A mixture of various hydrocarbons used as a fuel

consisted

of thirteen countries including Iran seven Arabcountries plus Ecuador Indonesia Nigeria Angolaand Venezuela OPEC had

been formed onSeptember 14 1960 at the Baghdad conference

It was made to protest pressure by major oil companies(mostly owned by US British and Dutch nationals) to reduce

oil prices and payments to producers At first it had operated as an informal

bargaining unit for the sale of oil by Third World nations It confined itsactivities to gaininga larger share of the revenues produced by Western oil

companies and greater control over the levels of production However in the early

1970s it beganto exert its strength

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

tumbled 398 cents to $685 per 1000 cubic feet

XXVI In London December Brent crude tumbled 6 percent or

$354 to $5554 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange

41)-OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

PAKISTAN ECONOMY

411)-CURRENT SITUATION

bull On month-on-month basis Pakistanrsquos oil import bill rose

to 1406 billion dollars during August 2008 from 9957million dollars in the corresponding month of last year

witnessing surge in oil import prices both in Arabian LightCrude and frequently hike in crude oil prices in westerncountries during the period under review

bull Given domestic shortages and emerging political

concerns for strategic reserves the countryrsquos food importbill increased to 2521 million dollars with an increase of 518 million dollars during the second month of currentfinancial year from 2003 million dollars in August 2007

However official sources and economic experts areforeseeing that currently with international crude oiltrading close to $92 per barrel 7 months low Pakistancan save $1-15b in oil import bill This will have apositive impact on current account deficit for theupcoming months of FY09 The country imported $41869million worth of wheat which along with price hikes of palm oil and other products raised the food import bill to$51m during August 2008

bull The State Bank of Pakistan reported on Tuesday that in

the category of petroleum group countryrsquos importpayments on petroleum products increased to $7542million in August 2008 against $3552 million in August2007 while country had spent $652 million on the import

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2939

of petroleum crude

bull It is important to note that in August 2008 petroleum

products with petroleum crude and palm oil in food group

imports requirements registered a strong growth ascompared to slowdown in import growth of thesecommodities witnessed during last month of FY09 (July2008)

bull The total machinery grouprsquos import payments swelled to

$4529 million in the month of August 2008 against 4331million in August 2007 showing an increase growth inpower generating machinery and textile machinery which

surged to $ 76631 million and 93196 millionrespectively during the course of period under review

bull In machinery group mobile phones growth substantially

hampered by 21 million dollars to 18351 million dollarsin August 2008 to 39380 million dollars in August 2007According to official data on foreign trade trade deficit of the country had widened by 4767 percent to 3522billion dollars during July-August 2008 from 2385 billiondollars in July-August 2007 on year-on-year basis amidrecord acceleration in the import growth caused byinflated petroleum group imports increased import of wheat and slowdown in export growth

bull During August the second month of the current financial

year trade deficit amounted at 18777 billion dollarsshowing an increase growth of 1418 percent against1644 billion dollars in the last month of prevalent fiscal(July 2008) During the particular course of past month

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

high oil price on the GlobalEconomy

51)-Oil Price Shocks and the

Economy

511)-oil price shocks affect economic activity

bull Eight out of ten post WW2 recessions followed by oil price

shocks

bull Statistical evidence links oil prices to inflation higher

interest rates and higher unemployment rates

bull Consensus An inverse statistical relationship

between oil price changes and economic activity

512)-Purchasing power effects

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3639

bull Oil price increase shifts purchasing power from oil-

importing nations to oil-exporting nations

bull On net demand for oil importerrsquos goods reduced

bull Lower consumption lower GDP growth higher saving and

lower interest rates

513)-Sensitive is GDP to oil price shocks

bull Empirical studies The economyrsquos sensitivity to oil priceshocks has declined in past decade

bull Monetary policy can shape how oil price shock isexperienced slower growth versus higher inflation

bull

514)-Economy relationship symmetric

bull Rising oil prices seem to retard economic activity more

than falling oil prices stimulate it

bull Possible explanation more economic adjustment costs and

coordination problems with rising oil prices

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3939

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

Crude Oil

Is the raw unprocessed liquid form that comes out of theground It is also known as petroleum Crude oil is a fossil fuelmeaning that it was made nat-urally from decaying plants and animals living millions of yearsago Crude oilsvary in color from clear to tar-black and in viscosity from water to almost solid

Fuel

Any substance (liquid solid or gas) that releases its stored heat

energy and turns it into actual heat and motion energy whentreated in a certain way such as by burning or by combustion inan engine When the fuel is burned it is destroyed and leaves uswith carbon emissions

Fuel prices

Typically displayed in either Price Per Liter (Litre) in the UKEurope Australia New Zealand and South Africa and Price Per Gallon in the US and Canada

Fuel economy

Also known as Fuel Efficiency can be best described as ways todrive carefully smoother and effeciently to get achieve moremiles per gallon

Petrol

Also known as Gasoline refined from Crude oil and is approx

15 lighter in density than petroluem diesel A mixture of various hydrocarbons used as a fuel

consisted

of thirteen countries including Iran seven Arabcountries plus Ecuador Indonesia Nigeria Angolaand Venezuela OPEC had

been formed onSeptember 14 1960 at the Baghdad conference

It was made to protest pressure by major oil companies(mostly owned by US British and Dutch nationals) to reduce

oil prices and payments to producers At first it had operated as an informal

bargaining unit for the sale of oil by Third World nations It confined itsactivities to gaininga larger share of the revenues produced by Western oil

companies and greater control over the levels of production However in the early

1970s it beganto exert its strength

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

tumbled 398 cents to $685 per 1000 cubic feet

XXVI In London December Brent crude tumbled 6 percent or

$354 to $5554 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange

products with petroleum crude and palm oil in food group

imports requirements registered a strong growth ascompared to slowdown in import growth of thesecommodities witnessed during last month of FY09 (July2008)

bull The total machinery grouprsquos import payments swelled to

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3939

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

Crude Oil

Is the raw unprocessed liquid form that comes out of theground It is also known as petroleum Crude oil is a fossil fuelmeaning that it was made nat-urally from decaying plants and animals living millions of yearsago Crude oilsvary in color from clear to tar-black and in viscosity from water to almost solid

Fuel

Any substance (liquid solid or gas) that releases its stored heat

energy and turns it into actual heat and motion energy whentreated in a certain way such as by burning or by combustion inan engine When the fuel is burned it is destroyed and leaves uswith carbon emissions

Fuel prices

Typically displayed in either Price Per Liter (Litre) in the UKEurope Australia New Zealand and South Africa and Price Per Gallon in the US and Canada

Fuel economy

Also known as Fuel Efficiency can be best described as ways todrive carefully smoother and effeciently to get achieve moremiles per gallon

Petrol

consisted

of thirteen countries including Iran seven Arabcountries plus Ecuador Indonesia Nigeria Angolaand Venezuela OPEC had

been formed onSeptember 14 1960 at the Baghdad conference

It was made to protest pressure by major oil companies(mostly owned by US British and Dutch nationals) to reduce

oil prices and payments to producers At first it had operated as an informal

bargaining unit for the sale of oil by Third World nations It confined itsactivities to gaininga larger share of the revenues produced by Western oil

companies and greater control over the levels of production However in the early

1970s it beganto exert its strength

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

tumbled 398 cents to $685 per 1000 cubic feet

XXVI In London December Brent crude tumbled 6 percent or

concerns for strategic reserves the countryrsquos food importbill increased to 2521 million dollars with an increase of 518 million dollars during the second month of currentfinancial year from 2003 million dollars in August 2007

However official sources and economic experts areforeseeing that currently with international crude oiltrading close to $92 per barrel 7 months low Pakistancan save $1-15b in oil import bill This will have apositive impact on current account deficit for theupcoming months of FY09 The country imported $41869million worth of wheat which along with price hikes of palm oil and other products raised the food import bill to$51m during August 2008

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3939

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

Crude Oil

Is the raw unprocessed liquid form that comes out of theground It is also known as petroleum Crude oil is a fossil fuelmeaning that it was made nat-urally from decaying plants and animals living millions of yearsago Crude oilsvary in color from clear to tar-black and in viscosity from water to almost solid

Fuel

Any substance (liquid solid or gas) that releases its stored heat

energy and turns it into actual heat and motion energy whentreated in a certain way such as by burning or by combustion inan engine When the fuel is burned it is destroyed and leaves uswith carbon emissions

Fuel prices

Typically displayed in either Price Per Liter (Litre) in the UKEurope Australia New Zealand and South Africa and Price Per Gallon in the US and Canada

Fuel economy

Also known as Fuel Efficiency can be best described as ways todrive carefully smoother and effeciently to get achieve moremiles per gallon

Petrol

Also known as Gasoline refined from Crude oil and is approx

15 lighter in density than petroluem diesel A mixture of various hydrocarbons used as a fuel

consisted

of thirteen countries including Iran seven Arabcountries plus Ecuador Indonesia Nigeria Angolaand Venezuela OPEC had

been formed onSeptember 14 1960 at the Baghdad conference

It was made to protest pressure by major oil companies(mostly owned by US British and Dutch nationals) to reduce

oil prices and payments to producers At first it had operated as an informal

bargaining unit for the sale of oil by Third World nations It confined itsactivities to gaininga larger share of the revenues produced by Western oil

companies and greater control over the levels of production However in the early

1970s it beganto exert its strength

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

tumbled 398 cents to $685 per 1000 cubic feet

XXVI In London December Brent crude tumbled 6 percent or

$354 to $5554 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

Crude Oil

Is the raw unprocessed liquid form that comes out of theground It is also known as petroleum Crude oil is a fossil fuelmeaning that it was made nat-urally from decaying plants and animals living millions of yearsago Crude oilsvary in color from clear to tar-black and in viscosity from water to almost solid

Fuel

Any substance (liquid solid or gas) that releases its stored heat

energy and turns it into actual heat and motion energy whentreated in a certain way such as by burning or by combustion inan engine When the fuel is burned it is destroyed and leaves uswith carbon emissions

Fuel prices

Typically displayed in either Price Per Liter (Litre) in the UKEurope Australia New Zealand and South Africa and Price Per Gallon in the US and Canada

Fuel economy

Also known as Fuel Efficiency can be best described as ways todrive carefully smoother and effeciently to get achieve moremiles per gallon

Petrol

Also known as Gasoline refined from Crude oil and is approx

15 lighter in density than petroluem diesel A mixture of various hydrocarbons used as a fuel

It was made to protest pressure by major oil companies(mostly owned by US British and Dutch nationals) to reduce

oil prices and payments to producers At first it had operated as an informal

bargaining unit for the sale of oil by Third World nations It confined itsactivities to gaininga larger share of the revenues produced by Western oil

companies and greater control over the levels of production However in the early

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

tumbled 398 cents to $685 per 1000 cubic feet

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

tumbled 398 cents to $685 per 1000 cubic feet

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

It was made to protest pressure by major oil companies(mostly owned by US British and Dutch nationals) to reduce

oil prices and payments to producers At first it had operated as an informal

bargaining unit for the sale of oil by Third World nations It confined itsactivities to gaininga larger share of the revenues produced by Western oil

companies and greater control over the levels of production However in the early

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

tumbled 398 cents to $685 per 1000 cubic feet

41)-OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

PAKISTAN ECONOMY

411)-CURRENT SITUATION

bull On month-on-month basis Pakistanrsquos oil import bill rose

to 1406 billion dollars during August 2008 from 9957million dollars in the corresponding month of last year

witnessing surge in oil import prices both in Arabian LightCrude and frequently hike in crude oil prices in westerncountries during the period under review

bull Given domestic shortages and emerging political

concerns for strategic reserves the countryrsquos food importbill increased to 2521 million dollars with an increase of 518 million dollars during the second month of currentfinancial year from 2003 million dollars in August 2007

However official sources and economic experts areforeseeing that currently with international crude oiltrading close to $92 per barrel 7 months low Pakistancan save $1-15b in oil import bill This will have apositive impact on current account deficit for theupcoming months of FY09 The country imported $41869million worth of wheat which along with price hikes of palm oil and other products raised the food import bill to$51m during August 2008

bull The State Bank of Pakistan reported on Tuesday that in

the category of petroleum group countryrsquos importpayments on petroleum products increased to $7542million in August 2008 against $3552 million in August2007 while country had spent $652 million on the import

of petroleum crude

bull It is important to note that in August 2008 petroleum

products with petroleum crude and palm oil in food group

imports requirements registered a strong growth ascompared to slowdown in import growth of thesecommodities witnessed during last month of FY09 (July2008)

bull The total machinery grouprsquos import payments swelled to

$4529 million in the month of August 2008 against 4331million in August 2007 showing an increase growth inpower generating machinery and textile machinery which

surged to $ 76631 million and 93196 millionrespectively during the course of period under review

bull In machinery group mobile phones growth substantially

hampered by 21 million dollars to 18351 million dollarsin August 2008 to 39380 million dollars in August 2007According to official data on foreign trade trade deficit of the country had widened by 4767 percent to 3522billion dollars during July-August 2008 from 2385 billiondollars in July-August 2007 on year-on-year basis amidrecord acceleration in the import growth caused byinflated petroleum group imports increased import of wheat and slowdown in export growth

bull During August the second month of the current financial

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

been formed onSeptember 14 1960 at the Baghdad conference

It was made to protest pressure by major oil companies(mostly owned by US British and Dutch nationals) to reduce

oil prices and payments to producers At first it had operated as an informal

bargaining unit for the sale of oil by Third World nations It confined itsactivities to gaininga larger share of the revenues produced by Western oil

companies and greater control over the levels of production However in the early

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

tumbled 398 cents to $685 per 1000 cubic feet

411)-CURRENT SITUATION

bull On month-on-month basis Pakistanrsquos oil import bill rose

to 1406 billion dollars during August 2008 from 9957million dollars in the corresponding month of last year

witnessing surge in oil import prices both in Arabian LightCrude and frequently hike in crude oil prices in westerncountries during the period under review

bull Given domestic shortages and emerging political

concerns for strategic reserves the countryrsquos food importbill increased to 2521 million dollars with an increase of 518 million dollars during the second month of currentfinancial year from 2003 million dollars in August 2007

However official sources and economic experts areforeseeing that currently with international crude oiltrading close to $92 per barrel 7 months low Pakistancan save $1-15b in oil import bill This will have apositive impact on current account deficit for theupcoming months of FY09 The country imported $41869million worth of wheat which along with price hikes of palm oil and other products raised the food import bill to$51m during August 2008

bull The State Bank of Pakistan reported on Tuesday that in

the category of petroleum group countryrsquos importpayments on petroleum products increased to $7542million in August 2008 against $3552 million in August2007 while country had spent $652 million on the import

of petroleum crude

bull It is important to note that in August 2008 petroleum

products with petroleum crude and palm oil in food group

imports requirements registered a strong growth ascompared to slowdown in import growth of thesecommodities witnessed during last month of FY09 (July2008)

bull The total machinery grouprsquos import payments swelled to

surged to $ 76631 million and 93196 millionrespectively during the course of period under review

bull In machinery group mobile phones growth substantially

hampered by 21 million dollars to 18351 million dollarsin August 2008 to 39380 million dollars in August 2007According to official data on foreign trade trade deficit of the country had widened by 4767 percent to 3522billion dollars during July-August 2008 from 2385 billiondollars in July-August 2007 on year-on-year basis amidrecord acceleration in the import growth caused byinflated petroleum group imports increased import of wheat and slowdown in export growth

bull During August the second month of the current financial

year trade deficit amounted at 18777 billion dollarsshowing an increase growth of 1418 percent against1644 billion dollars in the last month of prevalent fiscal(July 2008) During the particular course of past month

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

consisted

of thirteen countries including Iran seven Arabcountries plus Ecuador Indonesia Nigeria Angolaand Venezuela OPEC had

been formed onSeptember 14 1960 at the Baghdad conference

It was made to protest pressure by major oil companies(mostly owned by US British and Dutch nationals) to reduce

oil prices and payments to producers At first it had operated as an informal

bargaining unit for the sale of oil by Third World nations It confined itsactivities to gaininga larger share of the revenues produced by Western oil

companies and greater control over the levels of production However in the early

1970s it beganto exert its strength

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

tumbled 398 cents to $685 per 1000 cubic feet

XXVI In London December Brent crude tumbled 6 percent or

PAKISTAN ECONOMY

411)-CURRENT SITUATION

bull On month-on-month basis Pakistanrsquos oil import bill rose

to 1406 billion dollars during August 2008 from 9957million dollars in the corresponding month of last year

witnessing surge in oil import prices both in Arabian LightCrude and frequently hike in crude oil prices in westerncountries during the period under review

bull Given domestic shortages and emerging political

concerns for strategic reserves the countryrsquos food importbill increased to 2521 million dollars with an increase of 518 million dollars during the second month of currentfinancial year from 2003 million dollars in August 2007

However official sources and economic experts areforeseeing that currently with international crude oiltrading close to $92 per barrel 7 months low Pakistancan save $1-15b in oil import bill This will have apositive impact on current account deficit for theupcoming months of FY09 The country imported $41869million worth of wheat which along with price hikes of palm oil and other products raised the food import bill to$51m during August 2008

bull The State Bank of Pakistan reported on Tuesday that in

the category of petroleum group countryrsquos importpayments on petroleum products increased to $7542million in August 2008 against $3552 million in August2007 while country had spent $652 million on the import

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2939

of petroleum crude

bull It is important to note that in August 2008 petroleum

products with petroleum crude and palm oil in food group

imports requirements registered a strong growth ascompared to slowdown in import growth of thesecommodities witnessed during last month of FY09 (July2008)

bull The total machinery grouprsquos import payments swelled to

$4529 million in the month of August 2008 against 4331million in August 2007 showing an increase growth inpower generating machinery and textile machinery which

surged to $ 76631 million and 93196 millionrespectively during the course of period under review

bull In machinery group mobile phones growth substantially

hampered by 21 million dollars to 18351 million dollarsin August 2008 to 39380 million dollars in August 2007According to official data on foreign trade trade deficit of the country had widened by 4767 percent to 3522billion dollars during July-August 2008 from 2385 billiondollars in July-August 2007 on year-on-year basis amidrecord acceleration in the import growth caused byinflated petroleum group imports increased import of wheat and slowdown in export growth

bull During August the second month of the current financial

year trade deficit amounted at 18777 billion dollarsshowing an increase growth of 1418 percent against1644 billion dollars in the last month of prevalent fiscal(July 2008) During the particular course of past month

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

tumbled 398 cents to $685 per 1000 cubic feet

XXVI In London December Brent crude tumbled 6 percent or

$354 to $5554 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange

41)-OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

PAKISTAN ECONOMY

411)-CURRENT SITUATION

bull On month-on-month basis Pakistanrsquos oil import bill rose

to 1406 billion dollars during August 2008 from 9957million dollars in the corresponding month of last year

witnessing surge in oil import prices both in Arabian LightCrude and frequently hike in crude oil prices in westerncountries during the period under review

bull Given domestic shortages and emerging political

concerns for strategic reserves the countryrsquos food importbill increased to 2521 million dollars with an increase of 518 million dollars during the second month of currentfinancial year from 2003 million dollars in August 2007

However official sources and economic experts areforeseeing that currently with international crude oiltrading close to $92 per barrel 7 months low Pakistancan save $1-15b in oil import bill This will have apositive impact on current account deficit for theupcoming months of FY09 The country imported $41869million worth of wheat which along with price hikes of palm oil and other products raised the food import bill to$51m during August 2008

bull The State Bank of Pakistan reported on Tuesday that in

the category of petroleum group countryrsquos importpayments on petroleum products increased to $7542million in August 2008 against $3552 million in August2007 while country had spent $652 million on the import

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2939

of petroleum crude

bull It is important to note that in August 2008 petroleum

products with petroleum crude and palm oil in food group

imports requirements registered a strong growth ascompared to slowdown in import growth of thesecommodities witnessed during last month of FY09 (July2008)

bull The total machinery grouprsquos import payments swelled to

$4529 million in the month of August 2008 against 4331million in August 2007 showing an increase growth inpower generating machinery and textile machinery which

surged to $ 76631 million and 93196 millionrespectively during the course of period under review

bull In machinery group mobile phones growth substantially

hampered by 21 million dollars to 18351 million dollarsin August 2008 to 39380 million dollars in August 2007According to official data on foreign trade trade deficit of the country had widened by 4767 percent to 3522billion dollars during July-August 2008 from 2385 billiondollars in July-August 2007 on year-on-year basis amidrecord acceleration in the import growth caused byinflated petroleum group imports increased import of wheat and slowdown in export growth

bull During August the second month of the current financial

year trade deficit amounted at 18777 billion dollarsshowing an increase growth of 1418 percent against1644 billion dollars in the last month of prevalent fiscal(July 2008) During the particular course of past month

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

bull Oil price increase shifts purchasing power from oil-

importing nations to oil-exporting nations

bull On net demand for oil importerrsquos goods reduced

bull Lower consumption lower GDP growth higher saving and

lower interest rates

514)-Economy relationship symmetric

bull Rising oil prices seem to retard economic activity more

than falling oil prices stimulate it

bull Possible explanation more economic adjustment costs and

coordination problems with rising oil prices

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3939

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

tumbled 398 cents to $685 per 1000 cubic feet

XXVI In London December Brent crude tumbled 6 percent or

$354 to $5554 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange

41)-OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

PAKISTAN ECONOMY

411)-CURRENT SITUATION

bull On month-on-month basis Pakistanrsquos oil import bill rose

to 1406 billion dollars during August 2008 from 9957million dollars in the corresponding month of last year

witnessing surge in oil import prices both in Arabian LightCrude and frequently hike in crude oil prices in westerncountries during the period under review

bull Given domestic shortages and emerging political

concerns for strategic reserves the countryrsquos food importbill increased to 2521 million dollars with an increase of 518 million dollars during the second month of currentfinancial year from 2003 million dollars in August 2007

However official sources and economic experts areforeseeing that currently with international crude oiltrading close to $92 per barrel 7 months low Pakistancan save $1-15b in oil import bill This will have apositive impact on current account deficit for theupcoming months of FY09 The country imported $41869million worth of wheat which along with price hikes of palm oil and other products raised the food import bill to$51m during August 2008

bull The State Bank of Pakistan reported on Tuesday that in

the category of petroleum group countryrsquos importpayments on petroleum products increased to $7542million in August 2008 against $3552 million in August2007 while country had spent $652 million on the import

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2939

of petroleum crude

bull It is important to note that in August 2008 petroleum

products with petroleum crude and palm oil in food group

imports requirements registered a strong growth ascompared to slowdown in import growth of thesecommodities witnessed during last month of FY09 (July2008)

bull The total machinery grouprsquos import payments swelled to

$4529 million in the month of August 2008 against 4331million in August 2007 showing an increase growth inpower generating machinery and textile machinery which

surged to $ 76631 million and 93196 millionrespectively during the course of period under review

bull In machinery group mobile phones growth substantially

hampered by 21 million dollars to 18351 million dollarsin August 2008 to 39380 million dollars in August 2007According to official data on foreign trade trade deficit of the country had widened by 4767 percent to 3522billion dollars during July-August 2008 from 2385 billiondollars in July-August 2007 on year-on-year basis amidrecord acceleration in the import growth caused byinflated petroleum group imports increased import of wheat and slowdown in export growth

bull During August the second month of the current financial

year trade deficit amounted at 18777 billion dollarsshowing an increase growth of 1418 percent against1644 billion dollars in the last month of prevalent fiscal(July 2008) During the particular course of past month

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

bull Oil price increase shifts purchasing power from oil-

importing nations to oil-exporting nations

bull On net demand for oil importerrsquos goods reduced

bull Lower consumption lower GDP growth higher saving and

lower interest rates

514)-Economy relationship symmetric

bull Rising oil prices seem to retard economic activity more

than falling oil prices stimulate it

bull Possible explanation more economic adjustment costs and

coordination problems with rising oil prices

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3939

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

tumbled 398 cents to $685 per 1000 cubic feet

XXVI In London December Brent crude tumbled 6 percent or

$354 to $5554 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

3)-Current OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

TRANSITION ECONOMIES

31)-IN 2000 ndash 2007

bull The price of oil affects just about everything that is made

transported eaten and sold in the United States But withoil approaching $100 a barrel the impact on the US

economy has been less than many analysts expected

bull Time and again economists from Alan Greenspan on down

have warned that higher oil prices are inflationary They make it more expensive to drive to buy an airplane ticket and to manufacture anything from air conditioners to

zippers

bull Despite that the economy grew at an annual rate of 49

percent last quarter Thats been a surprise to Jay Bender president of a South Dakota injection-molding companyNPR interviewed him in January 2003 when oil sold for $32a barrel At the time he worried that rising oil prices would make raw materials more expensive

bull Thats going to be a challenge and if it does squeeze our

bottom line too hard it will have an impact on our ability toinvest in capital equipment and grow our business Bender said in 2003

bull Today he says the cost of raw materials has increased but

I would say probably not as much as I thought it would and maybe what I was forgetting [in 2003] hellip is when thesecosts go up they impact my competitors as well

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1839

bull So how is his company doing now

bull Were doing well he said I would say its the same

scenario as three or four years ago that our sales are

continuing to increase our top line is good we just set asales record in August and we broke it again last month inOctober

bull Bender said he has survived because by becoming more

efficient fighting back against higher prices and passing onsome increases to customers

bull Economist Ken Goldstein of The Conference Board which

compiles the Consumer Confidence Index said whatshappened to Bender is happening across the economy Hesaid it may not look like it when you see all those SUVs but the US is more energy efficient than it used to be and alternative fuels are more widely available

bull When oil gets much more expensive hellip some biofuels

become more cost effective Goldstein said We are ableto make that switch today We werent able to make that earlier

bull Federal Reserve Governor Alice Rivlin said there is another

reason the economy has survived price increases mdash lessmanufacturing

bull We dont depend on energy as much because we dont

depend on manufacturing as much Rivlin said Servicesare less energy intensive

bullGoldstein believes the days of relatively painless priceincreases are ending A lot of things are getting moreexpensive

bull For example the price of some of these sports drinks

hadnt increased in seven years It did this summer and precisely because the price of transporting that stuff by

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 1939

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

XIX Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani said that while

oil prices below $70 a barrel may seem like a gift to

consumers it could trigger price spikes in the near future

when demand picks up

XX But for now it is waning energy demand not the supply

controlled by OPEC that is dominating crude prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2439

XXI Events that earlier this year threatened to cut off supply in

oil producing nations no longer appear to have the power

to send prices surging

XXII Militants in Nigeria on Monday resumed attacks on the

countrys oil installations The military said it killed eight

people while guarding a facility in the oil-rich south of the

country

XXIII Militants frequently attack oil facilities seeking to hobble

Africas biggest petroleum industry and force Nigeriasfederal government to send more oil funds to the southern

states where the crude is pumped

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2539

XXIV The focus of the market has really been on the demand

side Hassall said Id be surprised if supply side issues in

Nigeria could change the mood of the market

XXV In other Nymex trading heating oil futures fell 748 centsto $193 a gallon while gasoline prices dropped 73 cents

to $12945 a gallon Natural gas for December delivery

41)-OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

PAKISTAN ECONOMY

411)-CURRENT SITUATION

bull On month-on-month basis Pakistanrsquos oil import bill rose

to 1406 billion dollars during August 2008 from 9957million dollars in the corresponding month of last year

witnessing surge in oil import prices both in Arabian LightCrude and frequently hike in crude oil prices in westerncountries during the period under review

bull Given domestic shortages and emerging political

concerns for strategic reserves the countryrsquos food importbill increased to 2521 million dollars with an increase of 518 million dollars during the second month of currentfinancial year from 2003 million dollars in August 2007

However official sources and economic experts areforeseeing that currently with international crude oiltrading close to $92 per barrel 7 months low Pakistancan save $1-15b in oil import bill This will have apositive impact on current account deficit for theupcoming months of FY09 The country imported $41869million worth of wheat which along with price hikes of palm oil and other products raised the food import bill to$51m during August 2008

bull The State Bank of Pakistan reported on Tuesday that in

the category of petroleum group countryrsquos importpayments on petroleum products increased to $7542million in August 2008 against $3552 million in August2007 while country had spent $652 million on the import

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2939

of petroleum crude

bull It is important to note that in August 2008 petroleum

products with petroleum crude and palm oil in food group

imports requirements registered a strong growth ascompared to slowdown in import growth of thesecommodities witnessed during last month of FY09 (July2008)

bull The total machinery grouprsquos import payments swelled to

$4529 million in the month of August 2008 against 4331million in August 2007 showing an increase growth inpower generating machinery and textile machinery which

surged to $ 76631 million and 93196 millionrespectively during the course of period under review

bull In machinery group mobile phones growth substantially

hampered by 21 million dollars to 18351 million dollarsin August 2008 to 39380 million dollars in August 2007According to official data on foreign trade trade deficit of the country had widened by 4767 percent to 3522billion dollars during July-August 2008 from 2385 billiondollars in July-August 2007 on year-on-year basis amidrecord acceleration in the import growth caused byinflated petroleum group imports increased import of wheat and slowdown in export growth

bull During August the second month of the current financial

year trade deficit amounted at 18777 billion dollarsshowing an increase growth of 1418 percent against1644 billion dollars in the last month of prevalent fiscal(July 2008) During the particular course of past month

(August 2008) country witnessed record volume of tradedeficit soared by 4637 percent to $1877b from $1282bin the corresponding month of FY08

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

Economy

511)-oil price shocks affect economic activity

bull Eight out of ten post WW2 recessions followed by oil price

shocks

bull Statistical evidence links oil prices to inflation higher

interest rates and higher unemployment rates

bull Consensus An inverse statistical relationship

between oil price changes and economic activity

512)-Purchasing power effects

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3639

bull Oil price increase shifts purchasing power from oil-

importing nations to oil-exporting nations

bull On net demand for oil importerrsquos goods reduced

bull Lower consumption lower GDP growth higher saving and

lower interest rates

513)-Sensitive is GDP to oil price shocks

bull Empirical studies The economyrsquos sensitivity to oil priceshocks has declined in past decade

bull Monetary policy can shape how oil price shock isexperienced slower growth versus higher inflation

bull

514)-Economy relationship symmetric

bull Rising oil prices seem to retard economic activity more

than falling oil prices stimulate it

bull Possible explanation more economic adjustment costs and

coordination problems with rising oil prices

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

truck to the supermarket to the grocery store got moreexpensive to the point where they had to go for a priceincrease he said

bull Goldstein says there is always a lag between the time

when oil goes up and the time its impact is felt in the

economy

bull This $100 mdash near $100 mdash a barrel crude oil thats still on

the tanker he said That hasnt even gotten to therefinery let alone to the gas station on the corner

bull When it does he said gasoline could hit $4 a gallon

bull Thats bound to be felt by consumers Whether they stop

spending will depend partly on other factors such as howwell the housing industry and the job market do But the

past few years have shown that the economy can adjust torising prices better than people once thought

32)-IN 2008CURRENT ISSUES ABOUT THE OIL PRICE

I Retail gasoline prices fell to a national average of

$222 a gallon dragged down by the falling price of

crude which now costs 60 percent less per barrel

than it did in mid-July

II Light sweet crude for December delivery fell more

than 5 percent or $325 to $5916 a barrel on the

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2139

New York Mercantile Exchange In earlier electronic

trading crude fell to $5832 its lowest point since

March 2007

III Oil prices fell two days ahead of a report from the

International Energy Agency which some analysts

expect will cut its 2009 oil demand forecast for the

third consecutive month

IV Volatile price swings are occurring almost every day

on the trading floorV While the Nymex contract is now trading near first-

half 2007 prices the difference then between daily

highs and lows was around $150 a barrel while

now the average daily range is around $550 a

barrel with recent daily peaks at $950 said analyst

Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland

VI Investors have grown increasingly leery about the

swooning US economy which faces its worst

recession in decades

VII Industry analysts had expected China and India

would continue buying crude if the US and other

western nations went into recession but the booming

economies of Asia have begun to show signs of fatigue

VIII Some forecasts had called for Chinas gross domestic

product to grow 10 percent next year More recent

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2239

forecasts have it closer to 6 percent the firm Cameron

Hanover said in a report Tuesday

IX A $586 billion stimulous package in China boosted markets

globally early Monday but those gains fizzled quickly and asell-off that began by midday in the US continued in Asia

and Europe Tuesday

X On Tuesday the Dow sank more than 200 points after

Homebuilder Toll Brothers Inc and Starbucks Corp gave

investors more evidence the housing market and consumer

spending are getting weaker

XI Toll Brothers said fourth-quarter revenue fell 41 percent

from the year-ago period while Starbucks reported lower

sales across the coffee chain leading to profits that fell

below analysts expectations

XII Gasoline fell again overnight dipping 2 cents to a national

average of $222 for a gallon of regular unleaded

according to auto club AAA the Oil Price Information

Service and Wright Express The average price has fallen

nearly 32 percent in the past month and according to AAA

could be headed to $2 a gallon nationally by years end

XIII Crude demand from the US the worlds largest consumer

of energy is a key driver of oil prices

XIV We saw extremely poor car sales and pretty shocking

unemployment numbers from the US last week said

Toby Hassall an analyst with Commodity Warrants

Australia in Sydney It wouldnt surprise me if oil edged

down toward $50

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 2339

XV US car sales fell to a 25-year low in October while the

unemployment rate shot to a 14-year high of 65 percent

last month

XVI Oil prices fell despite signs that OPEC members are goingahead with production cuts agreed to at an emergency

meeting in Vienna Austria last month

XVII Many analysts are expecting another cut by the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which will

meet on Dec 17 in Oran Algeria

XVIII The prime minister of Qatar said Tuesday that fair oil

prices of between $70 to $90 per barrel would ensure that

expensive oil exploration could continue avoiding price

spikes in the future

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

PAKISTAN ECONOMY

411)-CURRENT SITUATION

bull On month-on-month basis Pakistanrsquos oil import bill rose

to 1406 billion dollars during August 2008 from 9957million dollars in the corresponding month of last year

witnessing surge in oil import prices both in Arabian LightCrude and frequently hike in crude oil prices in westerncountries during the period under review

bull Given domestic shortages and emerging political

concerns for strategic reserves the countryrsquos food importbill increased to 2521 million dollars with an increase of 518 million dollars during the second month of currentfinancial year from 2003 million dollars in August 2007

However official sources and economic experts areforeseeing that currently with international crude oiltrading close to $92 per barrel 7 months low Pakistancan save $1-15b in oil import bill This will have apositive impact on current account deficit for theupcoming months of FY09 The country imported $41869million worth of wheat which along with price hikes of palm oil and other products raised the food import bill to$51m during August 2008

bull The State Bank of Pakistan reported on Tuesday that in

the category of petroleum group countryrsquos importpayments on petroleum products increased to $7542million in August 2008 against $3552 million in August2007 while country had spent $652 million on the import

of petroleum crude

bull It is important to note that in August 2008 petroleum

products with petroleum crude and palm oil in food group

imports requirements registered a strong growth ascompared to slowdown in import growth of thesecommodities witnessed during last month of FY09 (July2008)

bull The total machinery grouprsquos import payments swelled to

$4529 million in the month of August 2008 against 4331million in August 2007 showing an increase growth inpower generating machinery and textile machinery which

surged to $ 76631 million and 93196 millionrespectively during the course of period under review

bull In machinery group mobile phones growth substantially

hampered by 21 million dollars to 18351 million dollarsin August 2008 to 39380 million dollars in August 2007According to official data on foreign trade trade deficit of the country had widened by 4767 percent to 3522billion dollars during July-August 2008 from 2385 billiondollars in July-August 2007 on year-on-year basis amidrecord acceleration in the import growth caused byinflated petroleum group imports increased import of wheat and slowdown in export growth

bull During August the second month of the current financial

year trade deficit amounted at 18777 billion dollarsshowing an increase growth of 1418 percent against1644 billion dollars in the last month of prevalent fiscal(July 2008) During the particular course of past month

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

between oil price changes and economic activity

512)-Purchasing power effects

8142019 economics project of oil

bull Oil price increase shifts purchasing power from oil-

importing nations to oil-exporting nations

bull On net demand for oil importerrsquos goods reduced

bull Lower consumption lower GDP growth higher saving and

lower interest rates

513)-Sensitive is GDP to oil price shocks

bull Empirical studies The economyrsquos sensitivity to oil priceshocks has declined in past decade

bull Monetary policy can shape how oil price shock isexperienced slower growth versus higher inflation

514)-Economy relationship symmetric

bull Rising oil prices seem to retard economic activity more

than falling oil prices stimulate it

bull Possible explanation more economic adjustment costs and

coordination problems with rising oil prices

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

PAKISTAN ECONOMY

411)-CURRENT SITUATION

bull On month-on-month basis Pakistanrsquos oil import bill rose

to 1406 billion dollars during August 2008 from 9957million dollars in the corresponding month of last year

witnessing surge in oil import prices both in Arabian LightCrude and frequently hike in crude oil prices in westerncountries during the period under review

bull Given domestic shortages and emerging political

concerns for strategic reserves the countryrsquos food importbill increased to 2521 million dollars with an increase of 518 million dollars during the second month of currentfinancial year from 2003 million dollars in August 2007

However official sources and economic experts areforeseeing that currently with international crude oiltrading close to $92 per barrel 7 months low Pakistancan save $1-15b in oil import bill This will have apositive impact on current account deficit for theupcoming months of FY09 The country imported $41869million worth of wheat which along with price hikes of palm oil and other products raised the food import bill to$51m during August 2008

bull The State Bank of Pakistan reported on Tuesday that in

the category of petroleum group countryrsquos importpayments on petroleum products increased to $7542million in August 2008 against $3552 million in August2007 while country had spent $652 million on the import

of petroleum crude

bull It is important to note that in August 2008 petroleum

products with petroleum crude and palm oil in food group

imports requirements registered a strong growth ascompared to slowdown in import growth of thesecommodities witnessed during last month of FY09 (July2008)

bull The total machinery grouprsquos import payments swelled to

$4529 million in the month of August 2008 against 4331million in August 2007 showing an increase growth inpower generating machinery and textile machinery which

surged to $ 76631 million and 93196 millionrespectively during the course of period under review

bull In machinery group mobile phones growth substantially

hampered by 21 million dollars to 18351 million dollarsin August 2008 to 39380 million dollars in August 2007According to official data on foreign trade trade deficit of the country had widened by 4767 percent to 3522billion dollars during July-August 2008 from 2385 billiondollars in July-August 2007 on year-on-year basis amidrecord acceleration in the import growth caused byinflated petroleum group imports increased import of wheat and slowdown in export growth

bull During August the second month of the current financial

year trade deficit amounted at 18777 billion dollarsshowing an increase growth of 1418 percent against1644 billion dollars in the last month of prevalent fiscal(July 2008) During the particular course of past month

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

41)-OIL PRICE IMPACT ON

PAKISTAN ECONOMY

411)-CURRENT SITUATION

bull On month-on-month basis Pakistanrsquos oil import bill rose

to 1406 billion dollars during August 2008 from 9957million dollars in the corresponding month of last year

witnessing surge in oil import prices both in Arabian LightCrude and frequently hike in crude oil prices in westerncountries during the period under review

bull Given domestic shortages and emerging political

concerns for strategic reserves the countryrsquos food importbill increased to 2521 million dollars with an increase of 518 million dollars during the second month of currentfinancial year from 2003 million dollars in August 2007

However official sources and economic experts areforeseeing that currently with international crude oiltrading close to $92 per barrel 7 months low Pakistancan save $1-15b in oil import bill This will have apositive impact on current account deficit for theupcoming months of FY09 The country imported $41869million worth of wheat which along with price hikes of palm oil and other products raised the food import bill to$51m during August 2008

bull The State Bank of Pakistan reported on Tuesday that in

the category of petroleum group countryrsquos importpayments on petroleum products increased to $7542million in August 2008 against $3552 million in August2007 while country had spent $652 million on the import

of petroleum crude

bull It is important to note that in August 2008 petroleum

products with petroleum crude and palm oil in food group

imports requirements registered a strong growth ascompared to slowdown in import growth of thesecommodities witnessed during last month of FY09 (July2008)

bull The total machinery grouprsquos import payments swelled to

$4529 million in the month of August 2008 against 4331million in August 2007 showing an increase growth inpower generating machinery and textile machinery which

surged to $ 76631 million and 93196 millionrespectively during the course of period under review

bull In machinery group mobile phones growth substantially

hampered by 21 million dollars to 18351 million dollarsin August 2008 to 39380 million dollars in August 2007According to official data on foreign trade trade deficit of the country had widened by 4767 percent to 3522billion dollars during July-August 2008 from 2385 billiondollars in July-August 2007 on year-on-year basis amidrecord acceleration in the import growth caused byinflated petroleum group imports increased import of wheat and slowdown in export growth

bull During August the second month of the current financial

year trade deficit amounted at 18777 billion dollarsshowing an increase growth of 1418 percent against1644 billion dollars in the last month of prevalent fiscal(July 2008) During the particular course of past month

(August 2008) country witnessed record volume of tradedeficit soared by 4637 percent to $1877b from $1282bin the corresponding month of FY08

42)-How Pakistan is coping with the Challenge of

High Oil Prices

The trend in rising prices has become a grave concern for thedeveloping economy like Pakistan Because if this trend continued can result ininflationary pressures in theeconomy increasing budget deficit and balance of payment

problems and slowdown in theeconomic growth

421)- Pakistan Energy Sector ScenarioEnergy sector has a direct link with the economic development of a country In linewith the rising growth rate of GDP demand for energy has alsogrown rapidly Per capitaenergy consumption of the country is estimated at 14 million

Btu3the energy consumption has grown at an annual average rate of 44 percent from to 2005-08

Although it is only a fraction of other industrialising countries inthe region as Thailand and Malaysia

in Pakistan has led to rising crude oil imports from Middle East

exporters (Saudi Arab playing the lead role) In addition limited refining capacity leads toheavy dependence on the imports of petroleum products

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) the demand of

petroleum products in the country

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3139

is about 16 million tons out of which only 18 are met throughlocal resources while thebalance 82 is met through imports Therefore theinternational oil price fluctuations have a direct impact on the oil

prices in the local market

422)-Impact of High Oil Prices

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3239

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3339

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

7)-Conclusion

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it

In July 2008 has seen the maximum of $147 per barrel Thisrising trend in oil price in the international market has hurt theeconomies of many countries in the world including that of Pakistan The extent to which economies hurt as a result of price

shock depends on the countryrsquos dependency on oil Beforeanalysing the impact of high oil prices at the macro level the paper will look at some of the indicators showing thevulnerability of the Pakistanrsquos economy

423)-GDP Growth and Oil pricesIncreasing oil prices squeeze income and demand At a givenexchange ratemore domestic output is needed to pay for the same volume of oil imports If the domesticcurrency depreciates in response to induced payments deficitsthis further cuts the purchasing

power of domestic income over imported goods Since important trading partners are alsolikely to suffer income losses slower growth of external demand aggravates these direct impacts

The government has consumed its budgetary target of bank borrowing (Rs 130 billion) by

January 2008 further borrowing from banking or non-bankingsources may destabilize thefinancial health (Khan 2008) It is estimated that utilization of PSDP would remainsignificantly lower than allocated Rs 520 billion

Rapidly growing economies will generally experience more rapid growth of non-oil taxationand hence be better able to withstand the fiscal impacts of a

less than fully passing on of oil price increase In Pakistan non-oil taxation is more or less thesame for the last few years

424)-Oil Prices and Inflation Another channel via which high oil prices may affect macroeconomic performance is throughthe high costs of production thus reducing output

425)-Balance of Payment EffectOur petroleum imports account for 24 percent of total imports(and represented up to 44

percent of export earnings) in 2006-07 While in 1999-2000 theshare of petroleum imports

was 27 percent of total imports and accounts for 33 percent of total export earnings

Improving terms of trade would mean that a smaller volume of exports would be needed to

pay for a given quantity of imports For Pakistan this ratiohowever is decreasing that is more exports are needed to offset the burden of rising import bill

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3739

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

6)-20 Surprising Ways High Oil Prices

Affect the Global Economy

When you think of high oil prices yoursquore probably reminded of huge bills at the pump and inflating costs on goods and services However the high cost of oil brings on so much morethan thatFollowing some of the lesser-known ways high oil

prices affect the global economy

1 Less Asian growth As China and India grow they relyheavily on oil which is part of the reason for the spike inprices However theyrsquore shooting themselves in the footbecause the higher prices go the less they can afford and

their growth is slowed They also use energy lessefficiently so the prices are exacerbated

2 Bargaining power With higher oil prices oil-exportingcountries hold the power This might embolden thesenations to become more assertive or demanding of othercountries in both political and economic ways

3 Alternative energy grows As oil gets more expensivealternative energy becomes much more attractiveInvestment and employment in clean technology goes up

right along with high oil prices4 European countries are marginally affected With the dollar

declining on the euro Europeans feel the rising cost of oilmuch less than others

5 Bad monetary policy Rising energy costs are a cause forconcern in most households and governments tend toreact to this sort of situation However if they react withinappropriate policies they can make things worse bysimply prolonging the inevitable

6

Exporters hold on to their moneyInstead of pumping profitsback into the global economy exporters tend to save them

That means that the global demand will tend to fall

7 Helps US dollar Although wersquore not seeing this currently intheory higher oil prices should support a stronger dollar

This is because oil is priced in dollars and demand fordollars will increase with higher oil prices and dollar-denominated investment from exporters

8 Other energy exporters flourish Exporters of non-oil energylike coal and gas flourish as consumers attempt to shift tocheaper energy

9 New capital shift As prices are hiked investors considerputting their money in other sectors which has astimulating effect on the economy

10 China has a cushion Although as a developing countryChina is hit harder by oil prices they seem to have a

8142019 economics project of oil

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulleconomics-project-of-oil 3839

cushion as investment moves away from oil and theymaintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar

11 The US doesnrsquot have it so bad Although your wallet maybeg to differ the United States is not hit as hard as other

oil importers because we still produce about 40 of the oilwe consume

12 Government subsidies fail Some governments subsidizefuel and higher oil prices put pressure on them Thesubsidies interfere with supply and demand as consumerscontinue to demand more while prices stay relatively flat

13 Interest rates go up As higher oil prices lead to inflation andrigidities in government expenditures interest rates rise

14 Oil-producing countries donrsquot earn as much as yoursquod think

While the dollar suffers oil exporting countries are subjectto reduced purchasing power as they buy goods in euros

15 International business suffers When the cost of oil goes upflights get more expensive and corporate travel costs goup This leads to less frequent business trips tointernational locations

16 The virtual economy flourishes As the cost of transportationrises virtual work and net meetings become more popular

17 The travel sector suffers Hotels cruises airlines and others

in the travel industry are affected negatively by high oilprices because transportation costs are higher andconsumers are spending less because of stress on theirbudgets

18 Countries will stop paying bills At some point manycountries may be forced to choose between oil andinternational debt repayments As they default on theseloans theyrsquoll hurt large international finance institutions

19 Consumers save more When consumers are faced with

rising oil costs many create precautionary savings just incase things get worse

20 Consumers buy cars Although budgets are being squeezedconsumers

will buy more cars presumably to upgrade to a more fuel-efficient foreign model

bull The economy experiences somecostly adjustment to both rising and falling oil prices

bull When oil prices rise slowingeconomic activity is further retarded by adjustment costs

bull When oil prices fall stimulated economic activity is somewhat offset by adjustment costs

bull We then have asymmetry rising oil prices retard economic activity by morethan falling prices stimulate it
