Fiji and Costa Rica have smaller price gaps, highlighting that the addition of a carbon price brings the reference price very close to the actual end-user prices. If end-user prices are regulated, this suggests that any additional fuel price spike – as seen in 2022 – could easily tip this calculation over into an indication of a subsidy.
