Oil prices are a barometer of the world economy. Rising prices between 2003 and 2007 reflected the best global economic growth in a generation. This high economic growth was brought to an end not only by underpricing of risk, excess liquidity and over-confidence but also by an increasingly unsustainable commodity boom – of which oil was a crucial part. Now, as the world has dropped into recession, oil prices have fallen by more than half.
Exporters of traditional items including textiles, gems & jewellery, handicraft and leather — hit hardest by the slowdown in the Western markets — may get access to cheaper credit to tide over the current global meltdown. The commerce department and the finance ministry are discussing an incentive package for identified labour-intensive export sectors, which could include provision of credit at a subsidised rate and for a longer period. Incentives may also be given to exporters to diversify to alternate markets less affected by the global crisis.
