What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

Oil price volatility is influencing India's inflation outlook, with Brent crude remaining above USD 100 per barrel posing a challenge to the nation's macroeconomic stability, according to reports. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) recently raised India’s growth forecast to 7.1 percent, citing resilient domestic demand. However, the OECD also expects reduced purchasing power due to higher prices to weaken growth in the second half of the current year.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

High crude prices act as a tax on households and could widen India's Current Account Deficit to 1.8 to 2.0 per cent of GDP in the current fiscal year. Persistent inflationary pressure is expected to put pressure on the Reserve Bank of India to resume monetary tightening, potentially delivering up to 50 basis points of rate hikes.
