Household welfare implications of fossil fuel subsidy reforms in developing countries
Many studies find that when imposed in a non-targeted fashion the economic benefit of subsidies are concentrated on the richest households because they consume more of the subsidized product than poor households (Table 1).Studies reviewed by the World Bank (IEG, 2009) across developing countries found that only 15–20% of

The report also shows that developed and emerging economies have integrated private investment promotion mechanisms into over 70% of their renewable energy policies. But for LDCs and SIDS, the numbers stand at just 24% and 17% respectively. These findings echo the calls by UNCTAD''s World Investment Report 2023
May 2021 Developing Human Capital in Egypt through Energy Subsidy
In contrast, combined expenditures on health and education totaled only 5 percent of GDP (ESMAP 2019). To unlock the potential of its human capital, Egypt would require new funding sources for costly programs in areas like healthcare, social insurance, and education.1. Egypt''s energy policies also had social, environmental, and economic costs.
