The Impact on the world by Iran’s sanctions













When the United States in April 2019 threatened the world to put a full stop to oil import from Iran or face sanctions, the Indian government also indicated that it would have zero imports after May 2, 2019.





India has been a long term oil importing country from Iran. Previously even when there were sanctions, India continued to import as it has huge consumption of oil.





India was importing about 10% of its oil needs from Iran, although it had considerably reduced its intake over the last few months as India wanted to focus on alternative and cleaner fuel as stated by an Indian minister.





The U.S. has made it clear that Indian companies that continue to import oil from Iran would face severe secondary sanctions, including being taken out of the SWIFT international banking system and a freeze on dollar transactions and U.S. assets.













In response, Indian importers, including the oil PSUs, have decided that sourcing oil from Iran is unviable at present. As a result, the government is seeking to explain the decision as a pragmatic one, taken in India’s best interests.













Officials point to the six-month reprieve, from November 2018 to May 2019, that they received from the U.S. in the form of sanctions waivers to import Iranian oil, and the exemption to continue developing the Chabahar port, as positive outcomes of the negotiations over the past year.





This caused the price of Brent crude oil to witnessing a sudden jump to more than $75, from last week’s close of $71.97, as traders expected the withdrawal of the waivers to adversely affect the supply of oil in the market.





The price of Brent crude has been rising steadily in the last few months and has increased by almost 50% since it hit a low of about $50 in December, as a result of the decision of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to restrict their output to boost prices.





India imports more than 10% of its crude oil from Iran, so the government faces the immediate challenge of having to find alternative suppliers to meet its huge energy needs.





Even more worrying is the likely negative impact higher oil prices will have on India’s current account deficit, fiscal deficit and inflation in the wider economy. The current account deficit, which narrowed to 2.5% of GDP in the December quarter thanks to lower oil prices, will likely worsen going forward.
