GRANT SUBSIDY [5 records]

Record 1 2026-01-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Finance
  • Foreign Trade
DEF

A financial benefit granted by a government to producers of goods often to strengthen their competitive position.

CONT

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.

OBS

The subsidy may be direct(e. g., a cash grant) or indirect(e. g., low-interest export credits guaranteed by a government agency).
