This paper deals with oil prices and with their relation on the value of US dollar, and draws some conclusions about their correlation. The author used the annual figures for the main world currencies and oil prices, obtained from many different sources. International commodity prices are mostly expressed in dollars, especially oil prices, or in the terms of the indices based on dollar prices. The oil prices are obviously affected by the inflation and also by the value of the US dollar exchange rate. There is a definite link between the monetary policy, the exchange rates and the other factors and the oil prices, which is analyzed in this paper.

Crude oil and natural gas, as energy carriers forming the basis of European Union countries energy mix, are nowadays at the heart of policy measurements aiming at lowering their consumption with respect to environmental and security threats associated with them. In this article we used Granger causality test in order to examine whether there exists the possibility of negative consequence related to the implementation of such policy for economic development of the EU countries. Based on results we conclude the persistence of continuing existence of environmental risks in relation to restarting economic growth. The absence of more significant influence of oil and gas consumption on economic growth can be perceived positively.
