My 1st Contribution to #Collaborativearticles
Monetary Policy (MP) (managing interest rate & inflation) and and Fiscal Policy (FP) (focusing on economic growth) should work in harmony. For Business Cycle, MP has direct & indirect impact. Yes, the transmission time for the MP is 2-3 quarters, but the sentiments does job earlier. In recession, MP will lower interest rates, augment M2/M3 to increase aggregate demand but support should come from FP by higher spending, lower tax & incentives (2008 crises). When the economy is heated with high inflation (post Covid recovery period), only the interest rate hike might not be enough, the tone & spirit of policy will play its part. The unintended impact (like asset bubble, liquidity overhang, unaffordable borrowing) also needs to be watched.
