How subsidy removal affects inflation
Fuel subsidies keep petrol artificially cheap. Removing them has predictable economic effects.

What happens immediately:
Fuel prices rise sharply

Transport costs rise

Food prices rise (because transport is part of food cost)

Electricity and generator costs rise

Businesses raise prices to cover higher expenses

This creates cost‑push inflation — prices rise because the cost of producing and moving goods rises.
