Lessons and Implications

spending, and depress private investment. This book pr ovides the most comprehensive

estimates of energy subsidies currently available for 176 countries. It also presents an

analysis of “how to do” energy subsidy reform, drawing on insights from 22 country case

studies undertaken by IMF staf f and analyses carried out by other institutions.
