3. TYPES OF FISCAL POLICY
Expansionary Policies-If the economy is in recession or underperforming, the
government can add fiscal policies to stimulate the economy. Lowering
taxes allows to keep more of their income to spend as they wish. This
spending creates income for those who are selling products or services,
through a process called the multiplier effect, the cycle is repeated again and
again.
4. Contractionary Policies- The economy overheats when the demand for goods
and services creates inflationary pressure, when high levels of resource use
create bottlenecks in production and when credit availability tightens
because businesses and consumers become maxed out. When this
happens, the government employs contractionary policies to slow the
economy. Raising taxes pulls money out of the economy, slowing down
consumer spending and curtailing business investment
5. Advantages of fiscal Policy
Unemployment Reduction-When unemployment increases the government
implies expansionary fiscal policy which helps in increasing spending money or
purchases by cutting tax down. This helps in increase in demand of goods and
to meet the growing demand the private sector increases production creating
more employment.
Economic Growth Increase- the various fiscal measures helps in the
expansion of national economy for example when the govt. reduces tax the
business and individual come forward to invest and increases the economic
growth
6. Disadvantages of fiscal policy
Conflict of Objectives- When the government uses a mix of expansionary and
contractionary fiscal policy, a conflict of objectives can occurs.

for the money to reach peoples pocket. Hence, delays implementation of
fiscal policy
