कच्चे तेल की कीमतों में गिरावट से मोदी सरकार को मिलेगी राहत

नई दिल्ली 
अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजार में कच्चे तेल की कीमतों में गिरावट मोदी सरकार को बड़ी राहत दे सकती है। बुधवार को ये कीमतें 40 दिनों के सबसे निचले स्तर 65 डॉलर प्रति बैरल पर रहीं। बता दें कि 3 अक्टूबर को अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजार में कच्चे की कीमत 86 डॉलर प्रति बैरल के स्तर तक पहुंच गई थी। ऐसे में कच्चे तेल की कीमतों में गिरावट आने के बाद माना जा रहा है कि इससे भारत सरकार को कई तरह के दबावों से मुक्ति मिलेगी। 
अमेरिका द्वारा ईरान पर लगाए गए हालिया प्रतिबंधों के बाद इसका प्रभाव तेल की कीमतों पर पड़ने की आशंकाएं जताई जा रही थीं। हालांकि, अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डॉनल्ड ट्रंप ने भारत सहित 8 देशों को इन प्रतिबंधों से अस्थाई छूट दे दी। इसके अलावा अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजार में कच्चे तेल के उत्पादन में भी वृद्धि हुई है। ऐसे में ईरान पर अमेरिकी प्रतिबंध लागू होने के बाद भी अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजार में कच्चे तेल की कीमतों में गिरावट आई है। 
भारत के 5 राज्यों में विधानसभा चुनावों को देखते हुए कच्चे तेल की कीमतों में गिरावट मोदी सरकार के लिए बड़ी राहत का संकेत मानी जा रही है। गौरतलब है कि भारत सरकार पेट्रोल-डीजल की कीमतों और डॉलर के मुकाबले रुपये की कमजोर स्थिति को लेकर पिछले कुछ समय से लगातार दबाव में चल रही है। ऐसे में कच्चे तेल की कम कीमतों से भारत का तेल आयात बिल कम होगा। इससे साथ ही भारत का करंट अकाउंट डेफिसिट (CAD) भी कम होगा।

'Oil prices should start to stabilise in first-half of 2019'

Image
Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said on Tuesday that oil prices, which fell by more than a third this quarter, would become more stable in the first half of 2019.  The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) and other large oil producers led by Russia agreed earlier this month to cut their combined crude output by 1.2 million barrels per day from January in order to stem the fall in oil prices.  "I think that during the first half, due to joint efforts, which were confirmed by the Opec and non-Opec countries this December, the situation will be more stable, more balanced," Novak said in an interview on Rossiya-24 TV.  Novak also said there were no proposals for an extraordinary meeting with Opec, and he attributed the fall in oil prices to macroeconomic factors .  "Those are the fundamental factors: the decrease of demand in winter and, of course, the macro economy as we've been witnessing a decline in global economic activity...
