A centralized subsidy system have been shut down.
Yet another argument against government intervention in trade. Buying and selling should be possible without mandatory step to synchronously notify a govt agency.
Also a slight argument against populist fuel subsidies in petrocracies.
- londons_explore 5y agoI assume the centralisation is to prevent someone taking the subsidized fuel and either taking it out of the country, or selling it back to a refineary to claim the same subsidy twice for the same fuel.
- thriftwy 5y agoThis always happens when you start to give out free money.
- toxik 5y agoYou can have a central subsidy system that is not synchronous.
- skeeter2020 5y agoNot without giving up some of that "central". Yours would be an "eventually central" subsidy system.
- space_rock 5y agoPopulist fuel subsidies that also destroy our planet. Iran has the 8th highest CO2 emissions at 642,560,030 tons
