Macroeconomic, Fiscal, and Monetary Policy
GOvernments need to design and implement policies in a way that is both top-down, looking from a macroeconomic perspective at the whole economy, and bottom-up, based on understanding of numerous specific problems and issues. In the area of macroeconomic policy, AECOM International Development assists governments and civil society groups in analyzing macroeconomic policy issues using modern quantitative and empirical methods; facilitating collaboration among ministries of finance, line ministries, and parliaments in developing annual recurrent and capital budgets; executing budgets and monitoring expenditures through treasury systems and strong financial controls; adopting robust fiscal policies that achieve public spending objectives in a long-term sustainable way; and managing sound monetary and exchange policy to ensure low inflation, macro stability, and overall economic competitiveness.
