Fiscal policy

In economic terms, the totality of all measures to shape the revenues, expenditures and assets of the public sector (the state). This includes first and foremost – the determination of taxes and subsidies, – the decision to incur and repay debt, and – the adoption of a revenue and expenditure account (budget). These measures may also affect the value of money in different ways. Therefore, there are numerous overlaps between monetary policy and fiscal policy. – From a business perspective, the comprehensive organization of all capital flows and the capital structure in a company (financial management), including the planning of income and expenditure over several years to safeguard the future. – See deficit ratio, demographic hardening, fiscal policy, fiscal union, fund economy, budget deficit, Methuselah syndrome, demand financing, sustainability, nonaffectation principle, parafiscal, rule, golden, shadow debt, debt brake, debt ratio, sensitivity analysis, budgetary, government debt pressure, Stability and Growth Pact, sunset proviso, economic government, European. – Cf.
