Rapid Rise of Oil Prices

The point of the abstracts is to show how different societies can be affected by the selfsame(prenominal) economic factor rising oil colour prices. Countries, that I am going to present in the weakly of this question can be divided on two categories oil-importers and oil-exporters. The following abstracts will be maneuver by this division.Oil-exportersMany of these countries soak up their economies based mainly on oil export, which makes them proudly dependent on their resources on one hand, and give certain political buttons on the other. Most of these countries form OPEC (Organization of Petroleum merchandise Countries). One of them is Iran Revenues from oil and gas exports provide up to 70% of the states general budget.Both the government and prudence of Iran are highly dependant on oil. Foreign goods are mainly paid by petrodollars, enriching some Iranians and making many individuals quite wealthy. The boost in oil revenues that came with the 1973 oil price boom condu ct to the creation of many new enterprises.(Karbassian Akbar (2000) Islamic Revolution and the Management of the Iranian Economy. Social Research. V.67 i.2 p621.)By this constitute the price per barrel had nearly tripledOPEC production ran slightly behind world purchasing.(Gregg Easterbrook (05/15/2000) Opportunity appeal Hooray For Expensive Oil The new Republic. P.21)From this we can assume that triggering oil prices to go up scarcely by slowing down the production can be very profitable. We have an income distribution from oil importing countries towards the oil exporting countries.(Breffni ORourke. EU High Oil Prices Affect Economies, Societies. http/ rferl.org/ nca/ features/ 2000/ 09/ F.RU.000911133329.html).This way many macro instruction economical problems (budget holes, financing of social needs et c) could be happily solved. But in real life these profits appear ambiguously. If we take a close look at countries like Iran in the distributor point of time we dont fin d fast economic growth like in most European oil importing countries. That is because these countries sometimes tend to have a petrodollar injection rather than seek for more inbred ways of improving their economies.The high oil prices and the cheap rouble which killed the competition of foreign goods provided the push for a modest recovery.(Dimitry Shlapentokh. (05/00) Putins Russia What Is Ahead? Contemporary Review. V.276 i.612 p.225)Thus the conclusion is that rising oil prices are beneficial for oil-exporting countries scarcely in a short-term matter, because they can provide a necessary boost for their economies. But use as a recovery tool petrodollars could be dangerously addictive stunting natural attainment of the economy.Oil-importersOil-importing countries are dependant on oil as well, only in a different from oil-exporters way. high prices are making a strong impact across Europe, provoking protests in some areas and profound to reverse the continents economic recov ery. (Breffni ORourke. EU High Oil Prices Affect Economies, Societies. http/ rferl.org/ nca/ features/ 2000/ 09/ F.RU.000911133329.html). For the typical oil-importing country, the temporary income loss repayable to a rise in oil prices reads to a decrease in saving rather than a downward adjustment of consumption. (N.Loayza K. Schmidt-Hebbel L. Serven. 05/00. What Drives Private Savings Across the World? Review Of Economics And Statistics. V.82 i.2 p.165).Of course high oil prices usually cause certain footing. Depending on whole economic and politic situation damage can be serious or mild High oil prices are causing gruesomeness for many Americans Americans on modest incomes that have to drive a long way to work, independent truckers that have big fuel costs.(The Presidents Radio Address. (05/27/00) Weekly Compilation Of Presidential Documents. V.36 i.12 p.581), 1comparing to The fuel riots were sparked off by a sudden increase in the basic price of oil. People can not expen d the increased oil prices because having lost their jobs because of the government actions in the state sector. (African News Service. (07/19/00) p.1008201 n.0410)But too short-term negative effect (this is the impact which counts most at the moment. Rising oil prices sometimes lead to some positive changes in the society. Situations like that push governments to spend more funds on researches of pick or more efficient fuels, which in future day would allow to be less dependant on oil Meanwhile, we will continue to work toward a longer term solution. Ive asked Secretary Richardson to conduct a 60-day study on converting factories and major users from oil to other fuels, which will help to free up future oil supplies for use in heating homes. (The Presidents Radio Address. (05/27/00) Weekly Compilation Of Presidential Documents. V.36 i.12 p.581).
