Abstract

A financial program is a comprehensive set of policy measures designed to achieve a given set of macroeconomic goals. These goals could simply be to maintain a given level of economic performance. More often, however, the policies are designed to eliminate disequilibrium between aggregate domestic demand and supply, which typically manifests itself in balance of payments problems, rising inflation, and low output growth.
