Fiscal Policy
Embodies the government's budget management strategy and taxation policies to influence the national economy.
These economic policies control inflation, drive economic growth, reduce unemployment, and stabilize the economy over the business cycle. By adjusting government spending and tax rates, the government can guide the flow of economic resources, influence business and consumer behavior, and shape the overall financial landscape.
Each fiscal policy direction has a specific use case. For instance, during an economic downturn, expansionary budgetary policy involving elevated government spending or reduced taxes would typically be employed to stimulate growth. Conversely, contractionary fiscal policy can decelerate the pace when the economy risks overheating, primarily through reduced spending or increased taxes. Fiscal policies serve as vital instruments for governments to drive macroeconomic objectives, foster sustainable economic growth, and maintain overall financial stability. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of these policies may fluctuate based on timing, intensity, and economic conditions.
