-The final results of the baseline study conducted in Bangladesh are still pending (will be published beginning 2011). Anyways preliminary reports indicate, that the average household uses 2 hurricane lamps and one "kupi" (simple wick kerosene lamp). Expenses for kerosene for lighting are estimated around 190-200 BTk per month. Though it was not a specific target of the subsidy, the monthly rates in the case of hire purchase are now expected to be equal and most likely lower than that, which subsequently is a good sales argument too.
