Economic policies are designed to influence a country's economic activities, aiming to promote stability, growth, and prosperity. These policies, which include fiscal, monetary, and trade policies, help manage inflation, unemployment, and national debt, while guiding investment and consumption. By adjusting interest rates, taxation, and government spending, economic policies can stimulate or slow down economic activity to achieve objectives like economic growth, income redistribution, and financial stability. In addition, trade policies can open up markets, encourage exports, and manage imports, ultimately shaping a country’s overall economic health and competitiveness.
