Notes:
a. n.a.: not applicable, -: not available.
b. Where the subsidy is provided to more than one sector or fuel, its value in the country table may be somewhat different from the value reported in the OECD Inventory database due to disaggregation across sectors (see Annex I for further explanation). Values of electricity subsidies as reported in the country tables and the online database may also differ. Any difference has occurred because the non-fossil fuel component in electricity generation, as well as in imported electricity, has been subtracted from the electricity subsidy value for the purposes of the OECD database.
