Fiscal Deficits and Inflationary Pressures: Strategies for Sustainable Macroeconomic Stability Training Course

Introduction

The relationship between fiscal deficits and inflationary pressures is one of the most critical challenges facing policymakers, economists, and financial institutions. When government spending consistently exceeds revenues, financing gaps can lead to inflationary financing, higher borrowing costs, and destabilization of both domestic and global markets. Understanding how fiscal imbalances drive inflationary outcomes is essential for developing effective policy responses that promote sustainable growth and macroeconomic stability.

The Fiscal Deficits and Inflationary Pressures: Strategies for Sustainable Macroeconomic Stability Training Course equips participants with the knowledge and analytical skills to evaluate the fiscal–monetary nexus, identify the risks associated with persistent deficits, and design strategies for mitigating inflationary pressures. Combining theory, empirical tools, and real-world case studies, the course prepares professionals to address fiscal challenges and ensure long-term economic resilience.
