Le terme subside, parfois employé sous l'influence de l'anglais pour rendre subsidy, a un sens plus large lorsqu'il désigne une somme versée à un particulier ou à un groupement soit à titre d'aide ou de subvention, soit en rémunération de services. 2) Le mot octroi au sens de subvention est une impropriété à éviter. 3, record 1, French, - subvention

The effect of a government subsidy is to lower the final price of a product or service, which is why subsidies can become an international trade issue. The most common examples are direct payments by government to industry to help finance a large-scale project such as a major oil project, to help fund the costs of developing a new technology, to investigate foreign markets, or to locate an activity in a slow-growth region of the country. Subsidies can consist of grants, low-interest loans, or tax incentives. 3, record 2, English, - subsidy
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The subsidy may be direct (e.g., a cash grant) or indirect (e.g., low-interest export credits guaranteed by a government agency). 4, record 2, English, - subsidy
