The recent increases in oil prices have raised the importance of studying the effects of oil supply and demand shocks on an economy. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of the oil supply and demand shocks on the South African economy using a sign restriction-based structural Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model.

Africa’s oil and gas industry is not immune to the effect of the global oversupply. The recently published PwC Africa Oil and Gas Review 2015 found that respondents to the survey were suffering because of the reduced prices, and were plagued by issues such as regulatory uncertainty and corruption. We take a look at South Africa's crude oil import prices from January 2010 and compare the price movements of the price per kilogram of Crude oil imports to that of South Africa's retail petrol prices. Are they correlated? One would hope so, as crude oil is the main inset cost into the production of petrol.

Are they correlated? One would hope so, as crude oil is the main inset cost into the production of petrol. Although most African economies are not dependent on oil, the price of oil does have a direct effect on major industries. In South Africa, for example, commodity prices affect the viability of industry and development, so fluctuations in fuel prices can influence operating costs. on oil supply shocks which is exogenous in explaining the impact of oil price shocks on macroeconomic variables might be misleading. In South Africa, a recent study by Chisadza, et al. (2013) investigates the impact of oil shocks on the South African economy using a sign restriction-based structural vector autoregressive (VAR) model. The recent increases in oil prices have raised the importance of studying the effects of oil supply and demand shocks on an economy. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of the oil supply and demand shocks on the South African economy using a sign restriction-based structural Vector Aautoregressive (VAR) model.
