Gape in the literature:

1) In the prior study nobody had discussed about the increase crude oil on the inflation.
2) In the last studies there is not proper discussion about crude oil on the monetary policy of all the countries.
3) In the last few decades ,nobody discussed about crude oil prices on the economy of the country.

Methodology:

Our paper is showing that with the numerous ways our economy is affected by the crude oil. There is unqualified statement is that the decrease in the prices of crude oil is become the reason of boon for Pakistan. It is seen that monetary policy is based on the inflation rate. This paper is also helpful to quantify the  impact of  crude oil price on the economy of pakistan.we have applied the Karl Pearson’s Coefficient of Correlation for proper analysis. Further, Linear regression has been used to forecast the future cause and effect relationship between crude oil price and inflation and the linear regression is given by:- (Kothari, 2011)
(Y)i = a + b(X)I + (error)i Where;-
(Y)i = value of average inflation for year
i
a = mean value of inflation (intercept coefficient)
b = average change in inflation when one unit change in crude oil price (slope of crude oil price)
(X)i = value of crude oil price for year

Results:

In the table no 1 and 2 the regression analysis is indicating the average value of crude oil and inflations from the last 15 years. In the table no 3 derived the correlation between inflation and crude oil prices.
a = 2.45304358 (Intercept coefficient)
b = 0.07134506 (coefficient of value of crude oil price)
Regression equation is thus given by;-
Y = 2.4531 + 0.0732 (X) where;-
Y is inflation and X is the crude oil price.
Adjusted R square = 0.5686 which measures the fit implying that 56.86% of inflation is determined by the crude oil price
This result is showing that there has been 77.7 % correlation between crude oil and inflation.

Conclusion:

In Pakistan, central bank and government both deal the inflation rate. Our study is showing that Crude oil has crucial role in the development of the economy.Futher, the trends is showing that Crude oil has also impact on the prices of commodity. Monetary policy has effected on the Investment decision. Our study is showing that inflation rate depend upon the increase and decrease the crude oil.
