Summary: | Oil prices have risen very sharply over the past two years after declining to a 25-year low in February 1999. The change between early 1999 and the peak in September 2000 was the fourth major increase during the past three decades. 2 Given the macroeconomic developments that followed the oil shocks of the 1970s, the recent behavior of oil prices, which remain well above the average for the past two decades, has generated concerns about the prospects for world growth and inflation and integrally-related questions about the appropriate way for monetary policy to respond.
