Letter in The National UAE on 29Oct 19.

Perhaps India should get its own petrocurrency I write to you in reference to your article Is there a case for a petrorupee? (October 27) Jennifer Gnana's article was fun to read and very meaningful. The oil trade is dominated by the dollar, which has become somewhat of a problem because of the US reimposing sanctions on Iran and Russia, in addition to waging a trade war on China. This has made the market more unstable. The third largest consumer of oil is India, maybe it is not such a bad idea for the subcontinent to have its own petrol currency? What a thought-provoking idea indeed. K Ragavan, Bengaluru
