<h4><strong>The falling price of oil</strong></h4>

<p><strong>Text A</strong></p>

<p>When the Covid19 pandemic started to have a real impact on the global economy in the first quarter of 2020 the world price of oil collapsed.&nbsp; On 1 January, the oil price was at just over <dollar>$</dollar>60 a barrel and by the end of March it was <dollar>$</dollar>21, a fall of 65%. The governments of oil producing countries, directors of energy companies, market traders and economists watched in awe as the oil price fell and even turning negative at one stage. The fall in the oil price was particularly significant to oil producing countries such as Russia. [Paragraph 1]</p>

<p>The last time oil prices fell as sharply was in 2008 following the global financial crisis. The key driving force in both 2020 and in 2008 was the falling demand for oil. As countries around the world went into lock-down both industrial and consumer demand for oil decreased. [Paragraph 2]</p>

<p><strong>Text B</strong></p>

<p>The market for petrol (gas) has been significantly affected by the fall in the oil price. Table 1 shows how the fall in oil price has affected the price and quantity of petrol (gas) sales in Russia from January to June 2020. [Paragraph 3]</p>

<p><img alt="" src="../../../ib/economics/images/textbook/new-questions/table-petrol-price.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 214px;"></p>

<p>The fall in petrol (gas) prices was certainly good news for Russian consumers, but they found it difficult to benefit from the lower oil price as government regulations limited the movement of people during the pandemic. The lower oil price also led to lower production costs for businesses. This was particularly true for industrial sectors where oil is a significant cost such as energy, transport, petrochemicals, and plastics. [Paragraph 4]</p>

<p><strong>Text C</strong><img alt="" height="218" src="../../../ib/economics/images/textbook/new-questions/russian-growth.jpg" style="float: right;" width="211"></p>

<p>As a net oil exporter Russia has been hit particularly hard by the fall in oil price. Russian crude oil exports fell to less than <dollar>$</dollar>75 Bn in 2020 which has a fall from <dollar>$</dollar>125Bn in 2019. This was Russia&rsquo;s lowest oil export revenues for 10 years. Chart 1 shows the &nbsp;quarterly Economic growth rate of the Russian economy from the last quarter of 2019 through to the end of 2020. [Paragraph 5]</p>

<hr class="hidden">
<p><strong>Text D</strong></p>

<p>The fall in oil price in 2020 may have implications for the renewable energy sector. Fossil fuel energy and renewable energy are substitute goods. The growth of the renewable energy sector over the last few years has seen a significant switch in resources from fossil fuels to renewables. Although the fall in oil price might slow the growth of the renewable energy sector in the short term, in the long-term transition to wind and solar power seems relentless. [Paragraph 6]</p>

It was at record lows in late trading on Thursday evening falling to 6.30 Turkish Lira to the Dollar. The fall in the value of the Lira has been triggered by a political crisis, with the American government threatening Turkey with tariffs. Turkey has also got a growing debt crisis which is causing portfolio investors to take funds out of the country.</p><hr class="hidden"><p>A growing current account balance of payments deficit is adding to pressures on the currency. The falling value of the Turkish Lira is increasing inflationary pressure and Turkey&#39;s inflation rate has increased to 22%.</p><h5><strong>Questions</strong></h5><p><strong>a. If the Turkish Lira falls from TL4.70 = $1 to TL6.30, outline why this is a depreciation in the value of the Turkish Lira against the US Dollar. [2]</strong></p><section class="tib-hiddenbox"><p>The fall in the Turkish Lira from TL4.70 to TL6.30 means the cost of buying $1 rises from TL4.70 to TL6.30 which means the Turkish Lira is worth less relative to the US dollar.</p></section><p><strong>b.

[2]</strong></p><section class="tib-hiddenbox"><p>(TL4.50 / TL4.70 = $0.96) - (TL4.50 / TL6.30 = $0.71) = $0.25 (decrease)</p></section><p><strong>(ii) The change in the Turkish Lira price of imported US motorcycles into costing $15,000 per unit. [2]</strong></p><section class="tib-hiddenbox"><p>($15,000 x TL6.30 = TL94,500) - ($15,000 x TL4.70 = TL70,500) = TL24,000 (increase)</p></section><p><strong>c.

The rise in the average price level from P to P1 increases Turkish inflation.</p></section><p><strong>d. Using an AD/AS diagram explain the effect a depreciation of the Turkish Lira might have on aggregate demand. [4] </strong></p><section class="tib-hiddenbox"><p><img alt="" src="../../../ib/economics/images/textbook/inquiry-case-example-questions/ad-rise-china.jpg" style="float: right; width: 400px; height: 294px;">As the value of the Turkish Lira depreciates Turkey&#39;s export prices fall and its import prices rise which can lead to a rise in export revenues and fall in import expenditure. The rise in export revenues and fall in import expenditures leads to rise in net exports (X-M) which increases aggregate demand and this causes AD to shift to AD1 in the diagram.</p></section><h5></h5></div><script>document.querySelectorAll('.tib-teacher-only').forEach(e => e.remove());</script>
