| Summary: | The paper takes stock of eight country
studies and a cross-country analysis to review the
experience with subsidy reforms in the Middle East and North
Africa region between 2010 and 2014. This unprecedented
period of subsidy reforms occurred during a period of
extraordinary political changes, which makes this particular
experience unique. The paper reviews the facts and the
different paths to reforms taken by different countries
faced with different challenges, and discusses the pros and
cons of alternative policy options. It concludes with an
assessment of the experiences and a discussion on future prospects. |
