If India wants to use Western insurance, price cap would apply: US treasury secretary Yellen | India News

WASHINGTON: “We want Russian oil to continue to supply global markets; stay on the market. But we want to make sure that Russia doesn’t profit unduly from the war by enjoying prices that are essentially very high due to the war,” US treasury secretary Janet Yellen told PTI in an exclusive interview on Monday ahead of her trip to India later this week.

The gainers from this will be particularly those countries that do buy cheap Russian oil, and our hope would be that India would take advantage of this price cap, though its firms are bargaining with Russia,” Yellen said. “If they (India) want to use Western financial services like insurance, the price cap would apply to their purchases. But even if they use other financial services, we believe the price cap will give them leverage to negotiate good discounts from world markets. We would hope to see India benefiting from this programme,” the treasury secretary told PTI in response to a question. India, which imports nearly 85% of its fuel requirement, until March imported just 0.2% of all oil requirements from Russia. Russia now makes up for 22% of India’s total crude imports, ahead of Iraq’s 20.5% and Saudi Arabia’s 16%. Agencies Source link Read the full article
