A year ago, we imported (oil) of about $110 billion, we likewise send out oil, generally about $35-40 billion oil items we sent out. In this way, the net effect of oil was about $70 billion a year ago. In the event that the costs go up clearly this will have affect yet under various situations we see the effect running from generally about $25 billion to most extreme $50 billion.

It isn't greatly over the top," he said.

He said the ascent in oil costs will affect the nation's exchange and current record shortfall, yet it is probably not going to change monetary shortage and additionally swelling direction. "A year ago our exchange shortage enlarged. We came to the level of $160 billion a year ago. It was littler a year back: $40-50 billion. On the off chance that the costs go up as I stated, the effect would be under various situation. Pretty much the exchange deficiency will be equivalent to the oil affect," he said.

At the point when asked in the case of rising oil costs hit the administration's spending figurings, the secretary stated: "The costs may affect on the off chance that you alter the extract obligation. Today we don't have coordinate endowment. So if at some level, if that level achieves, the administration chooses to change it, at that point it may have some effect."
