IMF report on fossil fuel subsidies:
- around $1.3trillion globally in explicit subsidies (underpricing supply costs)
- $7trillion globally if you include underpricing external costs (like CO2 and air pollution)
For policy nerds: Technically interesting, and difficult, work by the IMF in distinguishing these concepts and gathering the data!
