The lithium ledger: fiscal competitiveness in the global race for resources
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Fiscal regimes (taxes/royalties) are critical for lithium resource development. Despite current surplus, a major lithium deficit looms by 2034, requiring new project investment. This report benchmarks global lithium-producing nations' fiscal policies. It highlights that: - Stable, transparent, competitive regimes attract most capital, sometimes outweighing geological advantages. - Chile's complex high-tax system risks its dominance by deterring investors. - The US and reformed Argentina offer better opportunities. As capital competition intensifies, attractive fiscal policies will determine winners in securing energy transition investment.
