Israel-Iran Conflict: Escalating Tensions Could Impact Indian Economy | Vantage with Palki Sharma

As tensions escalate in West Asia, the potential for a wider conflict looms, posing significant risks to the Indian economy. The International Monetary Fund has highlighted concerns that rising oil prices could reverse recent gains in controlling inflation and dampen the positive sentiment in financial markets. With India relying heavily on oil imports, accounting for 85% of its needs—nearly half sourced from West Asia—the stakes are particularly high. The IMF is monitoring the situation closely, noting that the ongoing conflict could also push global interest rates higher. Palki Sharma assesses the risks.
