INTRODUCTION

 In economics, fiscal policy is the use of government


expenditure and revenue collection to influence the
economy. Fiscal policy can be contrasted with the other
main type of macroeconomic policy.
 Changes in the level and composition of taxation and
government spending can impact on the following
variables in the economy:
 Aggregate demand and the level of economic activity
 The pattern of resource allocation
 The distribution of income.
TYPES OF FISCAL POLICY

 Automatic Stabilization
 Compensatory
 Discretionary
INSTRUMENTS OF FISCAL POLICY

 Taxation
 Government Expenditure
 Public debt
METHODS OF FISCAL POLICY

 Governments spend money on a wide variety of things, from


the military and police to services like education and healthcare,
as well as transfer payments such as welfare benefits. This
expenditure can be funded in a number of different ways:
 Taxation
 The benefit from printing money
 Borrowing money from the population or from abroad- A fiscal
deficit is often funded by issuing bonds, like treasury bills or
consol.
 Consumption of fiscal reserves- A fiscal surplus is often saved for
future use, and may be invested in local (same currency) financial
instruments, until needed
 Sale of fixed assets (e.g., land).
EFFECTS OF FISCAL POLICY

 Governments use fiscal policy to influence the level of aggregate


demand in the economy, in an effort to achieve economic objectives
of price stability, full employment, and economic growth.
 When the government runs a budget deficit, funds will need to
come from public borrowing (the issue of government bonds),
overseas borrowing, or monetizing the debt.
  
 When government borrowing increases interest rates it attracts
foreign capital from foreign investors.
 This can be used in times of recession or low economic activity as an
essential tool for strong economic growth and working towards full
employment
