Globally it was 1.6 T in 2022, direct.

For what they call implicit subsidies, IMF thinks it was $6.7T in 2024. https://www.imf.org/en/publications/wp/issues/2025/12/20/und...

Looks like $6.46 per person in the U.S.

The scope of the OECD Inventory is therefore broader than conventional conceptions of “subsidy”.

...so I guess we should be ganging up on the Netherlands ($1,760 per capita) and Sweden ($924 per person).
