fuel subsidies
Government gas assistance
Fuel subsidies are government payments or tax breaks that reduce the cost of gasoline, diesel, natural gas, or other fuels for consumers or producers.
Countries use them to keep energy affordable, support industries, or maintain political stability, though critics argue they encourage consumption, strain budgets, and harm the environment: The government announced it would phase out fuel subsidies over five years.
