Kereszttámogatások

Kereszttámogatások refers to the practice where one financial product or service subsidizes another. This can occur within a single company or between different entities. For example, a profitable division of a company might provide financial support to a less profitable or newly launched division, allowing it to remain competitive or achieve market penetration. In a broader sense, it can also describe situations where one group benefits from resources generated by another. This concept is often employed to foster growth, maintain market share, or achieve strategic objectives. However, it is crucial to ensure that such cross-subsidization practices are transparent and do not distort competition or create unfair advantages. Regulatory bodies often monitor these arrangements to prevent anti-competitive behavior. The sustainability of such a model depends on the long-term profitability of the subsidizing element and the eventual viability of the subsidized element. Without careful management, relying on kereszttámogatások can mask underlying inefficiencies and become unsustainable over time.
