What is Fiscal Policy?

Fiscal policy means the use of taxation and public expenditure by the government for stabilization or growth of the economy. When the government decides on the goods and services it purchases, the transfer payments it distributes, or the taxes it collects, it is engaging in fiscal policy. It is generally focused on the effect of changes in the government budget on the overall economy. The purpose to define such a policy is to balance the effect of modified tax rates and public spending. For instance, the government may try and simulate a slow-growing economy by increased spending.
