changing spending or taxes.

1930s) helps to stimulate demand and creates jobs.
 Income tax cuts – increasing the disposable income of workers,
encouraging them to spend.
 Monetary policy – When Central Bank influences demand and supply
of money.
 Cutting interest rates – makes borrowing cheaper and should
increase the disposable income of firms and households – leading to
higher spending.
 Quantitative easing – when Central Bank creates money and buys
bonds to reduce bond yields and
 Helicopter money – when the central bank creates (prints) money and
gives it to everyone in the economy
 Supply-side policies – Long-term policies to try and improve
productivity and efficiency in the economy.
 Free market supply-side policies – reducing government intervention
in the economy, e.g. lower taxes
  Interventionist policies – government spending on education and
training
 IMF bailout – IMF give money to stem the loss of confidence and
implement structural adjustment policies, e.g. better tax collection,
privatisation, price liberalisation.

confidence in financial sectors.
