The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 3 Jun 2018Last fiscal, global crude oil prices rose 18% on average. Another 22% increase this fiscal is expected, taking the average price of the Indian basket to $70-72 a barrel. The first two months have seen prices average $74 a barrel — even hitting $80, the highest since November 2014 — fuelled by geopolitics.
The rebound happened after nearly five years of decline. Low oil prices helped lower India’s current account deficit (CAD) to below 1% of GDP, and complemented GoI’s efforts in taming the fiscal deficit and inflation.
