dc.description.abstractFor decades, many developing countries have provided universal price subsidies for bottled gas to promote clean cooking. Advances in digital technology and ample evidence of the economic distortions caused by the subsidies have led some governments to instead use targeted cash transfers, slashing illegal diversion and fiscal costs. But the recent rise in fuel prices has put pressure on governments to reinstate universal price subsidies. This brief reviews how governments have targeted subsidies to the lesser-off and the political challenge of ending untargeted subsidies.en
