Fiscal Policy Basics and Interaction with Monetary Policy<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last time, we talked about the concepts of monetary policy and inflation. Today, we will shift
our focus to fiscal policy and its interaction with monetary policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Fiscal policy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A government’s strategies and approaches to impact its economy are referred to as fiscal
policy. Usually, the goal is to lower unemployment and promote economic expansion. In
simple terms, fiscal policy involves modifying government spending and taxation to
influence the state of the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When combined, expansionary fiscal policy and restrictive monetary policy can strengthen
the value of the currency by stimulating the economy through increased government
spending or tax breaks. Combining restrictive fiscal policy with expansionary monetary
policy may cause the value of money to decline because lower interest rates will not be
enough to offset the negative effects of higher taxes or lower spending on the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned as we will examine expectations theory and how it affects markets in our
upcoming lesson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
