economic subsidies

Economic subsidies are financial support or incentives provided by governments or organizations to encourage the production or consumption of certain goods and services. They can take the form of direct payments, tax breaks, or price reductions, making these goods or services more affordable or attractive. The goal is to promote economic activity, support industries, protect jobs, or achieve social objectives. While subsidies can boost specific sectors and benefit consumers, they can also lead to market distortions and require careful management to ensure they achieve desired outcomes without unintended negative effects.
