​KembaraXtra- Financial Terms- activist fiscal policy refers to a government policy involving deliberate changes in taxation and public spending to influence economic activity and demand.


Governments use activist fiscal policy to stimulate economic growth during recessions or to reduce excessive demand during periods of inflation.


For example, authorities may introduce tax cuts, tax credits, or increased public spending to encourage consumer spending and business investment.


During economic downturns, governments sometimes target specific sectors, such as housing or automobile industries, to support employment and economic recovery.


Activist fiscal policy is an important tool in macroeconomic management and is closely linked to broader fiscal policy objectives.
