The reinstatement of stringent financial regulations signals the end of a three-year period of supportive fiscal policy. As governments worldwide grappled with the effects of economic downturns, they implemented policies to spur economic activity and growth. However, a shift in strategy is imminent as several jurisdictions are aiming to restore finicky budget rules that are bound to significantly tighten fiscal policy.
This return to tight budget rules comes with implications, as it concludes a three-year stint of a primarily supportive fiscal environment that has helped economies stay afloat amidst severe financial crises. While the move to reinstate tighter fiscal rules may be seen as a much-needed balance to keep economies from spiraling into uncontrollable debt, it could also mean less governmental aid and leeway for travel industries, small businesses, and other sectors that have relied heavily on supportive fiscal policies during these challenging times. Ultimately, this change signals a significant shift towards fiscal austerity in contrast to the recent years’ trend of spending stimulus.
