The document summarizes the findings of a policy study on the impacts of rising oil prices on developing countries and implications for achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Key findings include: 1) oil price increases have had relatively moderate macroeconomic impacts so far but future impacts are uncertain and risks are tilted upward; 2) impacts vary significantly across regions and countries depending on their energy and economic profiles; 3) at the national level in India, impacts have been modest on GDP but inflation has increased moderately and trade deficits have risen; 4) however, sectoral and household impacts have been more significant through higher transportation, fertilizer and energy costs negatively impacting poor communities. The study calls for further research and consultation to improve assessments.
Oil has for decades been perceived as a necessary and highly addictive energy commodity, fueling the world economy. It is a crucial input good for most of the net-oil consumer countries, and it is an important source of revenue for the net-oil supplier countries. This means that any changes in the oil price will affect the entire world economy. Chloé Le Coq and Zorica Trkulja from Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics have written a policy brief that explains to what extent the oil-price fluctuations matter for the economy.

What the drop in oil prices means for the economy and office marketsJLL
Oil prices are below $65 per barrel for the first time since 2009, and energy producers across the globe are starting to panic. Lower prices will likely extend into 2015—bad news for energy companies and the downstream industries that support them, but good news for the U.S. economy and consumers.
We expect demand for real estate in the energy markets to weaken. Landlords and developers will feel pressure to secure and retain occupancy. But, the benefit of sustained low oil prices will fuel (pun intended) retail, residential, industrial and office demand across the United States overall.

An Investigation of Crude Oil and its Implication for Financial Markets Priesnell Warren ✔

Oil prices falling and Their Impact on World and Indian EconomyRishabh Hurkat
The presentations is focused on Reason Behind the Fall in Global Crude Oil Prices.
It also inculcates various Charts and Data which are Up-to-date.
The Basic Reason is to understand the Effect on Global and Indian Economy.
The oil industry, with its history of booms and busts, is in its deepest downturn since the 1990s, if not earlier.
Earnings are down for companies that made record profits in recent years, leading them to decommission more than two-thirds of their rigs and sharply cut investment in exploration and production. Scores of companies have gone bankrupt and an estimated 250,000 oil workers have lost their jobs.
The cause is the plunging price of a barrel of oil, which has fallen more than 70 percent since June 2014.
Prices recovered a few times last year, but a barrel of oil has already sunk this year to its lowest level since 2004. Executives think it will be years before oil returns to $90 or $100 a barrel, a price that was pretty much the norm over the last decade.
Brent crude, the main international benchmark, was trading at around $29.64 ( 21st February 2016) a barrel on Saturday.
United States production has surged in recent years as the shale boom took off. That has helped create a glut of oil as major producers like Saudi Arabia continue to pump at high levels.
The Impact of Oil Price on Economic Development of Kurdistan Region of Iraq f...IJAEMSJORNAL
Kurdistan region of Iraq signifies a great case study to investigate the impact of oil price, for the reason that most of its producing reliance on exporting crude oil KRG is one of the main oil exporting regions. Usually, the national revenue relies on crude oil revenue in KRG comprises a great percentage of Kurdistan region of Iraqi government’s budget and also KRG’s economy can be impact by would economic during economic difficulties. Consequently, growing oil crude oil price can influence on economic development in Kurdistan region of Iraq. Therefore, it is important to utilize other resource instead of oil income as a different approach to increase region’s income. The key objective of this article is to investigate the impacts of oil price and oil production value on economic development. Annual growth rate, compound growth rate and correlation coefficient can be utilized to estimate of the data. The findings revealed that an economic development is one of the most significant sources of economic transformation since it reproduces the society's capability to rise productive volume and ideal investment and likewise sustainability obligation comprises an expanded economy on the face of shocks, dynamically implements technology and head accumulation human money, competitively can increase comparative advantages compared to the other. Consequently, it operates within steady, balanced economic strategies and economic growth and there was positively statistically significance between oil price and GDP, oil production value and GDP.
Russia’s dependence on oil and other natural resources is well known, but what does it actually mean for policy makers’ ability to control the economic fate of the country? This brief provides a more precise analysis of the depth of Russia’s oil dependence. This is based on a careful statistical analysis of the immediate correlation between international oil prices — that Russia does not control — and Russian GDP, which policy makers would like to control. I then look at how IMF’s forecast errors in oil prices spillover to forecast errors of Russian GDP. These numerical exercises are striking; over the last 25 years oil price changes explain on average two thirds of the variation in Russian GDP growth and in the last 15 years up to 80 percent of the one-year ahead forecast errors. Instead of controlling the economic fate of the country, the best policy makers can hope for is to dampen the short-run impact of oil price shocks. A flexible exchange rate and fiscal reserves are key volatility dampers, but not sufficient to protect long-term growth. The latter will always require serious structural reforms and the question is what needs to happen for policy makers to take action to get control over the long-term fate of the economy.

OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) is an oil cartel whose mission is to coordinate the policies of the oil-producing countries. The goal is to secure a steady income to the member states and to secure supply of oil to the consumers.
Opec - Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Vikas C
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is a permanent, intergovernmental Organization, was established in Baghdad.
OPEC comprised 12 members: Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Iran, Iraq Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates Venezuela.
Petrodollar is a United State dollar earned by the country through the sale of petroleum.
Shale oil is an unconventional oil produced from oil shale rock fragments by pyrolysis, hydrogenation, or thermal dissolution. These processes convert the organic matter within the rock into synthetic oil & gas.
OPEC Share of World Crude Oil Reserves - According to current estimates, more than 81% of the world's proven oil reserves are located in OPEC Member Countries, with the bulk of OPEC oil reserves in the Middle East, amounting to 66% of the OPEC total.
80% of the world's oil reserves are located in just 13 countries which make up OPEC (the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries). Algeria, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Angola, Indonesia, Ecuador, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.

Introduction to Marketing - Retail and Wholesale
This petroleum product marketing overview includes discussions on What is Marketing, the structure and key functions of oil company marketing departments, and some historical perspective on how demand for transportation fuels, including service stations came, to dominate US landscape.
The complete Petroleum Product Marketing Module includes lessons on marketing fundamentals, retail vs wholesale marketing, and key business drivers and processes in petroleum product marketing.
What is Petroleum Product Marketing?
As we stated earlier, Marketing is the final step in the ‘Microbes to Markets’ chain that delivers useful petroleum products to end-user customers. The main business drivers of this segment are volume, market share and margin.
Worldwide, transportation fuels including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and marine fuel oil account the largest percentage of global demand, and it is the fastest growing portion of refinery products.
In the United States, passenger cars still consume more petroleum products than any other sector. Today, the US accounts for about 44% of the world’s gasoline consumption, and transportation fuels are 65% of the US demand.
Since the US has one of the most competitive retail markets in the world, it has been a leading indicator in development of new service station formats. Many of these retail formats are adopted around the world – with some customization to accommodate local legislation and consumer preferences.

This paper assesses impacts of Vietnam’s participation in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership on its oil import. Based on a partial equilibrium analysis and gravity regression framework, it is clear that potential tariff elimination according to commitments as expected in RCEP is going to boost import volume of oil products and create a huge loss in the tariff revenue of Vietnamese government. While the tariff is gradually removed along with the participation of the country in FTAs, para-tariff and non-tariff measures play an increasingly important role as protectionism tools for the infant oil sector in Vietnam.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Oil price impacts
1. Policy Study on Impacts of Rising Oil
Prices on the Poor and Implications
for the MDGs
Presented to:
UNDP Technical Review Committee
23-24 March 2006, Bangkok
Rekha Krishnan & Team
TERI
2. Study Objectives
Assess overall economic and social impacts of oil price increases on
developing countries of the region, and their specific impacts on the
poor’s access to modern energy services.
Assess impacts on key economic and social sectors, e.g.,
agriculture, transport, industry (especially SMEs), commerce,
physical infrastructure, health and education.
Assess impacts on various components of MDGs and relate the
outcomes to progress made towards meeting the MDGs.
Assess effectiveness of energy strategies, policies and mechanisms
to enhance the poor’s access to modern energy services against oil
price increases and continued volatility in global markets.
Identify strategic directions and policy options for regional
governments to cope with future oil price uncertainties, with special
reference to options to safeguard the interests of the poor.
3. Coverage of Interim Reports
Global assessment
— overall macro-economic impacts at international
level based on secondary data
Regional assessment
— region-specific impacts, accounting for sub-
regional diversities, based on secondary data
National assessment
— macro level assessment based on secondary
data, combined with micro level survey of poor
communities in 2 villages in India
4. Key Findings of Global Assessment:
Highlights of recent oil price trends
Rise in prices, though persistent, has been relatively gradual in
comparison to some previous spikes.
In real terms, current oil prices are still below the all-time highs
reached in 1979.
Recent rise in prices due to a combination of strong demand
against tight supply and rising marginal costs less rather than a
consequence of supply disruptions as such.
Oil price rise coincides with a period of dollar instability.
Marked growth in demand for transportation fuels – gasoline
and diesel.

Declining excess supply capacity, oil companies’ rationalization and
cost-cutting efforts, and concentration of excess capacity in a few
countries — leading to increased vulnerability of world oil market.
Unstable Middle-East situation and oil supply insecurity elsewhere in
Russia, Nigeria and Mexican Gulf coast
Low levels of investment in exploration in Mexico and OECD Europe.
Inflow of speculative money and risk premium’s emergence which
may have caused excessive price hikes.
Underinvestment in the sector, particularly in exploration.
Environmental regulations resulting in reduced capacity to
manufacture transportation fuels, such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
8. Key Findings of Global Assessment:
Potential macro-economic impacts based
on past experience
Contraction of economic output — 0.25 to 0.50% per $10/barrel of increase in
oil prices.
Rise in cost of production of goods and services, depending on ‘oil intensity’ of
sectors/activities.
Trade deficits due to higher cost of exports.
Higher general price levels/inflation, with possible wage-price spirals as
experienced during first oil price shocks of 1970s.
Unemployment triggered by cost-cutting measures by manufacturers/service
providers.
Volatility in equity and bond valuations, and in currency exchange rates due to
changes in economic activity, corporate earnings, inflation and monetary
policy.
Incentives for energy suppliers to increase production (to the extent there is
scope for it) and investment, including investment in non-oil energy options.
Reduction in oil demand where prices are passed through to consumers.
9. Key Findings of Global Assessment:
Actual macro-economic impacts observed
so far
Decline in world GDP growth by about 0.7% during 2004-2005,
when oil prices rose steeply.
Stable aggregate consumer price indices for developing and
developed nations.
Consistent decline in oil intensity of GDP irrespective of oil price
trends.
No marked change in per capita oil consumption.
10. Key Findings of Global Assessment:
Reasons for lack of dramatic impacts
Oil price rise coincides with economic revival and low inflation
where firms and governments are less able to pass on higher
energy costs to prices of goods and services because of strong
competition and consumer pressures.
Rapid economic growth in some developing countries, notably
China and India.
Weakening of US$ since 2002, partly offsetting impact of higher
oil prices in many countries, especially in the Euro zone and
Japan.
Relatively low interest rates, though this trend is being reversed.
Question of time-lag, depending on how sustained oil price
trends will be.
11. Key Findings of Global Assessment:
Outlook for future
Up till 2010, oil markets may remain broadly balanced, with
incremental oil demand being met mostly by higher non-OPEC
production.
However, prospects for higher spare capacity are unfavourable, so
market will likely remain tight and vulnerable to risk of large,
unexpected price changes.
From 2010 onward, OPEC supply may increase significantly as
non-OPEC production peaks while global demand continues to rise.
However, there would be growing upside risks to prices due to:
o strong demand side pressures from Asian countries, particularly
China,
o continued tightness in North American gasoline markets
o political instability, especially in the Middle East
o long lead times and high costs of establishing new refining
capacity
o underinvestment in supply infrastructure in various countries.
12. Key Findings of Regional Assessment:
Macroeconomic impacts of oil price rise
Real GDP growth: Asian sub-regions not adversely impacted so far
due to economic revival in OECD economies which has spurred demand
for Asian exports. GDP growth flat in Pacific Island Countries since 1990.
Inflation: No significant inflationary impact so far in South-East Asia,
average inflation rates in North-East Asia and Mekong, moderate
increase in South and West Asia since 2000. Relatively low inflationary
impacts linked to moderate pass-through in most economies with
administered prices for petroleum products. Pacific Island Countries with
market-determined pricing report increases in inflation, particularly
transportation costs.
Foreign exchange reserves : Increase in all sub-regions since 2001,
faster than growth in current account surplus due to capital inflows into
the region.
Trade balance: No major adverse impact in Asia sub-regions.
Significant negative impact in Pacific Island Countries.
13. Key Findings of Regional Assessment:
Economic profiles of sub-regions
North-East Asia and Mekong
- Relatively health GDP growth rates
- High inflation in Lao PDR, followed by Mongolia and Vietnam
- Low openness of Cambodia and Lao PDR economies
- China’s high foreign exchange reserves
South-East Asia
- Negative GDP growth in Timor Lese
- High inflation in Myanmar
- Stable GDP growth and control over inflation in Malaysia and Thailand
- High trade deficit of Philippines
South and West Asia
- Healthy GDP growth rates in all countries
- High inflation in Iran and Sri Lanka
- India’s high foreign exchange reserves
Pacific Island Countries
- High dependence on imports
- Narrow range of exports, dependence on tourism
- Fiji and Papua New Guinea with greatest diversity of economic activities
- Overall, low dependence on/potential for domestic growth
14. Key Findings of Regional Assessment:
Energy profiles of sub-regions
North-East Asia and Mekong
All economies, except Vietnam, are oil importers. Cambodia and Lao
PDR are heavily dependent on traditional fuels.
South-East Asia
Malaysia is the only net oil exporter, with Indonesia’s status reversed in
2004. Energy use patterns differ significantly between nations with
Myanmar using the least energy per capita and largely dependent on
traditional fuels.
South and West Asia
All economies, except Iran, are net oil importers. Afghanistan, Bhutan,
Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka do not produce any oil. Bhutan, Nepal
and Bangladesh have high dependence on traditional fuels.
Pacific Island Countries
None of the economies, except Papua New Guinea, produce oil.
Considerable interest in renewable energy sources, though overall
shares in energy supplies remain low.
15. Overall Conclusions of Global and
Regional Assessments
Eventual impacts of oil price likely to affect oil-
importing developing countries most severely
Countries with weak policy frameworks, low foreign
exchange reserves and limited access to international
capital markets will be worst-affected
Policy action favouring price pass-through (subsidy
removal) needed to trigger demand side responses
Technological responses will be crucial — e.g., new
transport infrastructure, non-conventional oil
production, renewable energy, efficient energy
production/use processes/equipment
16. Key Findings of National Assessment:
India: Macroeconomic impacts of oil price
rise
No decline in consumption of crude and petroleum products.
No impact on GDP, including agricultural and industrial GDP.
Only a modes impact on Inflation, partly due to partial pass-through of
oil price increases to consumers and partly due to low weightage given
to petroleum products in consumer price index.
Increase in trade deficit.
No effect on public spending on physical infrastructure and social
sectors (education, health and poverty alleviation).
Increase in public spending on renewable energy development.
Electricity pricing unlikely to be impacted since only 10% of electricity
generation is oil-based and tariff setting is influenced by several
economic, social and political concerns.
Natural gas prices increased 12% for the power and fertilizer sectors,
and 136% for other industrial consumers. No increase in prices for
small-scale industries and transport sectors.
17. Key Findings of National Assessment:
India: Sectoral impacts of oil price rise
Petroleum sector : Oil marketing companies, which bear 85-
90% of subsidies on kerosene and LPG, now recover one-third
of their loss from upstream oil companies.
Transport sector : Since 2002, prices of petrol increased by
60-70% and of diesel by 80-90%, with important repercussions
for industry due to higher costs on account of transportation.
Higher transportation costs will also impact on people’s access
to workplace, markets, and education and health centres.
Fertilizer sector : Prices unchanged since 2002 despite
growth in international prices. 25% increase in government
subsidy per tonne of urea since 2000.
18. Key Findings of National Assessment:
India: Microeconomic and poverty impacts of oil
price rise — community-wide impacts
Income patterns : Increase of 25% among poor households (income
< or =Rs 3,000 per month) and by about 61% in non-poor households.
No change in employment pattern, which continues to depend on
agriculture.
Expenditure patterns : No change in share of energy expenditure in
total household spending on necessities (including food, energy, water
and public transport). However, if expenditure on diesel is included,
energy expenditure has declined, possibly due to reduced diesel
consumption of diesel.
Impact on major economic activity (agriculture) : Only 3 out of
the 11 farming families surveyed owned diesel pump sets, others used
electric pump sets. All farmers travelled 8-14 kms for various activities
such as buying seeds, fertilizers, etc., and for taking produce to market.
Expenditure on transportation increased by about 50%. There has also
been an increase in fertilizer costs of about 25% and pesticide costs by
over 30%.
19. Key Findings of National Assessment:
India: Microeconomic and poverty impacts of oil
price rise — direct impacts on households
Changes in energy expenditure : 45% increase among poor
households and 59% increase among non-poor households, mainly due
to higher prices of kerosene, LPG and diesel.
Changes in energy consumption : 39% of households have
stopped using LPG/kerosene for cooking while 44% have reduced
consumption of these fuels to less than 50%. Resultant increase in
biomass fuel consumption stated to have increased health hazards and
time expenditure on fuel gathering. Many households stay in darkness
for longer hours due to reduced use of kerosene for lighting.
Transportation costs: Cost per trip by public transport to school,
health centre and marketplace have nearly doubled. Health care
affected the most due to 8 kms. distance to nearest hospital. Some
families have withdrawn children from better quality schools to lower
quality schools closer to villages. Poor households affected more due to
longer travel distance and higher reliance on public transport.
20. Comments for Follow-Up
Global Assessment
o Generally benign assessment of impacts so far and outlook due to
reliance on limited secondary data sources — need for further
research and live consultations to present more conservative view
as an alternative future
o Time lag factor not fully addressed, with inadequate coverage of
longer term impacts
o Basic assumption of cyclical trend in oil prices debatable as there
is an emerging school of opinion suggesting prices may have
entered a secular trend
o Importance of US Dollar’s future and its potential adverse impacts
on world economy and oil prices not fully understood/addressed
o Related to above, potential implications of emerging barter trade in
oil (e.g., Venezuela) and Euro bourse for oil not addressed
21. Comments for Follow-Up
Regional Assessment
o Geophysical and geopolitical informative but not very useful
to assess vulnerability of sub-regions
o Poverty and inequality profiles useful, but need to be
correlated to energy profiles
o Need for live consultations with different stakeholders
National/micro assessment
o Longer term impacts not adequately covered
o Contradicting results of micro level assessment need
reconciliation
o Some data, e.g., reversion to biomass due to LPG/kerosene
price increase, questionable as these are not common
cooking fuels, especially by poor.
