A subsidy is a financial contribution provided by a government or public authority to support specific economic activities, groups, or sectors. It can take the form of direct payments, tax reductions, price supports, or discounted services. Subsidies are often used to encourage production, stabilize prices, protect jobs, promote innovation, or achieve social and environmental goals. They can apply to areas such as agriculture, energy, housing, transport, and education. While subsidies can stimulate growth and help vulnerable groups, they may also distort competition, burden public budgets, or create dependence if not designed and monitored carefully.
