5.0 Conclusion
This report revealed that the fiscal and monetary in most the countries are combined to combat
the fluctuation of the economic and maintain its stability. An overheating condition is a
distinctive result which has raised the level of the inflation depreciating the efficiency of the
future economy. Keynesian theory state that a contractionary fiscal rule is amended when the
demand-pull inflation is faced in the economy, (Lusardi, and Mitchell , 2014, pg.5-44).
