Quantitative Objectives

This article provides a comprehensive introduction to macroeconomics, focusing on its core objectives and the roles of fiscal and monetary policy in shaping economic outcomes. It explores six key macroeconomic objectives—four quantitative (price stability, high employment, foreign trade balance, and steady economic growth) and two qualitative (fair distribution of income and wealth and environmental sustainability). These interrelated objectives emphasize the need for balanced, long-term economic policies that promote growth and equity.
