Original: Fuel Subsidies May Top $1 Trillion As Iran War Drags, UN Says
The United Nations says global spending on fuel subsidies could surpass $1 trillion if the conflict involving Iran continues, as rising oil prices force governments to spend more shielding consumers from higher energy costs. The warning highlights the war's widening economic toll, with subsidy bills ballooning in energy-importing and producing countries alike as markets brace for prolonged disruption.
Why now: The Iran conflict is pushing up oil prices, raising the global cost of fuel subsidies and drawing attention to the economic fallout.
