Abstract
Oil price change is one of the most important economic factors that impacts oil importing and exporting countries, with the real exchange rate as the link between global oil price changes and national economies. These indices crude oil prices and exchange rate and the relation among them have crucial role for every country, especially those that are directly dependent to the import and export of oil.
This survey investigates the way real oil prices affects real exchange rate in oil exporting and importing countries, using panel data for the period 1993 to 2009, to compare the two groups of countries. The findings show that the relationship between real oil prices and real exchange rates are significant in both groups of countries.
