Fossil fuels being subsidised at rate of $13m a minute, says IMF

  • Fossil fuel subsidies reached a record $1.3 trillion in 2022, more than doubling since the previous assessment and totaling $7 trillion when factoring in implicit subsidies.
  • The increase in subsidies was driven by efforts to mitigate the economic impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the demand spike caused by the Covid-19 recovery.
  • Despite commitments to phase out fossil fuel subsidies, the reports highlight a gap between stated goals and actual implementation, with serious implications for global warming and climate change.
