Energy Subsidy Reforms

Energy subsidy reforms involve changing government policies that provide financial support to make energy (like fuel, electricity, or gas) cheaper for consumers. These subsidies can encourage overuse and lead to economic inefficiencies or environmental harm. Reforms aim to reduce or eliminate these subsidies gradually, allowing prices to reflect actual production costs. This can improve economic stability, reduce budget burdens, and promote cleaner energy use. While it may lead to higher costs for consumers initially, targeted policies or assistance programs can help mitigate impacts, ensuring a more sustainable and efficient energy system in the long term.
