- Read the following quote and explain in complete sentences whether it discusses fiscal policy, monetary policy or both. “Taking substantial action at this point, though, would send what could be a negative message to the market — that the balance sheet runoff, which former Chair Janet Yellen said would be ‘like watching paint dry,’ is running into snags and requires corrective action. However, the Fed would have no choice if there are indications that it can't control the market movements, particularly considering the record level of Treasury debt the government has issued this year.”arrow_forwardSuppose the US Federal Government decides to engage in deficit spending whereby it increases its expenditure through debt financing.

Now it is back in vogue. In their recent assessment of the economic impact of the pandemic, the World Bank (p56, 2021) concluded, for advanced economies such as the United Kingdom (UK), that, “With monetary policy increasingly constrained, fiscal policy has taken on a critical role in macroeconomic stabilization during the crisis, delivering unprecedented stimulus in 2020 in the form of cash transfers and income support to households and firms.” Firstly, explain how monetary and fiscal policy is implemented and how they can be used to influence GDP and the price level. Secondly, the quotation above highlights the unprecedented use that has been made of fiscal policy in countries such as the UK during the crisis. Briefly consider whether fiscal policy will remain the key policy instrument in these sorts of countries in the near future.arrow_forward

- Please Read the Following Paragraph and Answer the Following Questions Oman’s government will finance most of its budget shortfall in 2021 by borrowing to plug a fiscal gap battered by a decline in oil prices and the coronavirus pandemic. The Persian Gulf state is looking into borrowing that will cover 73%, or 1.6 billion rials ($4.2 billion), of the country's 2.2 billion-rial shortfall, with the remaining 600 million rials to be drawn from its reserves, according to a post on Twitter by the state-run Oman News Agency on Friday. The government based its 2021 budget plan on an oil price of $45 per barrel. Other highlights from Oman’s 2021 budget: • Expenditure is set to fall to 10.8 billion rials, a 14% drop from the previous year. • 2021 revenue is set to fall to 8.6 billion rials, a 19% decline. • Budget deficit at 8% of gross domestic product in 2021, 2.2 billion rials.
