 Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has come when the global economy was already under considerable stress as it was recovering from the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008-09 and many of the emergent measures that were put in place to combat the GFC were still operative. simultaneously needed.

In particular, interest rates were at historic lows in many countries and fiscal deficits and public debts were at high levels. This implies that the scope for expansionary monetary and fiscal policies is rather limited. Furthermore, policy measures to mend broken supply chains and restore confidence are also simultaneously needed.

So, what sort of macroeconomic policies should be adopted? The double punch of the GFC followed by the pandemic has made it difficult to pursue either traditional monetary policy or traditional fiscal policy. This is particularly true against a background of continued deficient aggregate demand compounded during the pandemic by broken supply chains for the world economy.

This lecture will deal with these issues and provide a rationale for monetary and fiscal policy to work together rather than having an independent monetary policy. This lecture draws on Chapter IX of my forthcoming book:

MACROECONOMICS FOR DEVELOPMENT: PROGNOSIS AND PROSPECTS

Gloucestershire, UK, Edward Elgar, forthcoming 2022

This book hs two chapters on macroeconomics during the pandemic. This lecture covers the second chapter.
