Mastering The Market Cycle

Government Involvement With The Economic Cycle

It is part of the job of central bankers and treasury officials to manage cycles.

Central bankers have dual-responsibilities that are in opposition to each other:

1.Limit Inflation: which requires restraining the growth of the economy.
2.Support Employment: which calls for stimulating economic growth.

 

Governments:

1.Cut Taxes
2.Increase Government Spending
3.Distribute Stimulus Checks

 

When governments want to slow their country’s economy, they can:

1.Increase Taxes
2.Decrease Government Spending
