Monetary Stimulus
Monetary stimulus not always works with expansionary monetary
policy or increased money supply. An economy could be able to
attain economic stimulus at the time of recession. Following the
Keynesian concept, monetary expansion along with fiscal measures
helps the economy to stimulate and function better. A monetary
expansion may not always help to economic stimulus because of
chances of inefficient money supply leading to excess
inflation.
A successful expansion of money supply at the time of recession
with effective fiscal policies can attract investments and
encourage production processes. Inefficient fiscal policies can
even leads to further increase in prices and less change in the
production of outputs. Economic stimulus being important at
recession, effective money supply is necessary for constant
economic growth in output than nominal terms.
The monetary stimulus can be a failure when the economy is tending
to inflation. Further increase in money supply can create negative
impact in the supply of output because of the increased price
level. Lack of effective fiscal policies also can make negative
impact on economic stimulus and it changes according to the
inflationary or deflationary pressure in the economy.
