Implicit subsidies,primarily underpricing of environmental costs, were $6.7 trillion (5.8 percent of GDP), with three quarters fromunderpriced air pollution and climate change.*Relative to GDP, explicit subsidies have stablized at pre-COVIDlevels while implicit subidies have increased somewhat and are expected to rise gradually until 2035. Explicitsubsidy removal would reduce CO2emissions by six percent below baseline levels in 2035, avoid 70,000 RECOMMENDED CITATION:Black, Simon, Weronika Celniak, Ian Parry, Paulina Schulz Antipa, NateVernon-Lin, 2025. “Underpriced, Overused, and Fueling Inequality: Fossil Fuel Subsidies Data 2025 Update” WORKING PAPERS Underpriced and Overused: FossilFuel Subsidies Data 2025 Update Prepared by Simon Black, Weronika Celniak, Alberto Garcia-Huitron, IanParry, Paulina Schulz Antipa, and Nate Vernon-Lin1 Contents Executive Summary ..............................................................................................................................................31.Introduction..............................................................................................................................................52.Conceptual, Measurement, and Data Issues ..........................................................................................7 FIGURES 1.

Contrasting Explicit and Implicit Subsidies........................................................................................................6 Executive Summary Globally, fossil fuel prices in most countries are inefficient as they fail to adequately charge for both the supplyand environmental costs of fuel use. Consequently, countries’ scarce resources are misallocated betweenfossil fuels and other sectors, promoting greenhouse gas emissions, local air pollution deaths and other This paper presents a biannual assessment of the efficient set of prices on fossil fuel products, by sector, andsubsidies implied by undercharging relative to efficient prices, for 170 countries. Results are available online1 and based on an extensive compilation and update of energy and environmental data using the IMF-World As in previous IMF reports, this paper distinguishes between
