Domestic Petroleum Product Prices and Subsidies : Recent Developments and Reform Strategies / David Coady, Taimur Baig, Joseph Ntamatungiro, Amine Mati.

The main finding of the paper is the limited price pass-through in many countries and the consequent increase in fuel subsidies. The paper proposes that key elements of a successful strategy to contain subsidies should comprise: making subsidies explicit; making pricing mechanisms more robust; combining reductions in subsidies with measures to protect the poorest; using the resulting savings well, and transparency and consultation.
