Fossil Fuel Support Inventory Indicators: GENERAL METADATA
General notes
This database compiles fossil fuel support aggregates drawn from the individual country inventories of the OECD Inventory of Fossil Fuel Support database.
OECD Companion to the Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels 2021
Nov-23
Data for 2022 are preliminary and in some instances contain OECD-generated estimates.
Country data for 2022 for all measures in Eastern partnership (EaP) countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Moldova) are preliminary. These are OECD-generated estimates and they do not represent official budgetary figures.
Data for year 2022 of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine were not updated in the latest version of the OECD Inventory of support measures for fossil fuels. These countries are therefore not included in the Detailed Indicators to keep time series consistent over years.

1) Fiscal cost of support measures for fossil fuels are based on information reported by countries through official documentation (e.g. budget reports). Support measures for which such information is not available are excluded from the aggregate amount reported in this table. In addition, support measures in certain countries may not have been exhaustively identified.
2) Tax expenditures are estimates of revenue that is foregone due to a particular feature of the tax system that reduces or postpones tax payments (relative to a jurisdiction’s benchmark tax system) to the benefit of fossil fuels’ producers or users. Hence, (i) tax expenditures estimates can increase either because of greater concessions (relative to the benchmark tax system) or because of an increase in the benchmark itself; (ii) cross-country comparisons of tax expenditures can be misleading due to country-specific benchmark tax systems.
3) Support measures for fossil fuels are included in the Inventory without reference to their economic or environmental effects. No judgment is therefore made as to whether such measures are inefficient or ought to be reformed.
4) The estimates presented in the OECD Inventory may be under-estimates, as several subsidies and broader support measures documented in the OECD Inventory may not be completely quantified or the complete set of fossil fuel support measures of covered countries may not have been exhaustively identified.
