CLIMATE CHANGE Europe, And The World, Should Use Green Subsidies Cooperatively (Credit: ezypix / iStock by Getty Images) Green subsidies can be helpful where there are market failures. When carbon emissions are underpriced in relation to their true cost to society, subsidies can steer businesses and consumers toward clean technologies that are less polluting. But subsidies should be carefully targeted to correct market failures and should not discriminate between firms, Alfred Kammer, the director of the IMF’s European Department, writes in a blog. As Europe considers a Green Deal industrial plan, partly in response to the US’ Inflation Reduction Act and concerns that companies could shift to the country that provides the largest tax break or subsidy, Kammer calls for a multilateral approach to stopping climate change and underscores the importance of preserving the integrity of the single market. A subsidy race between the world’s largest economies to lure green investment could undermine the level playing field in global trade, contribute to geoeconomic fragmentation and impose large fiscal costs, Kammer says.
