📝 Abstract

The study aims to analyze the effects of fiscal policies on the macroeconomic stability of emerging economies. Despite abundant literature, there is a knowledge gap concerning the specific impacts of such policies in diverse economic landscapes. Our research focuses on identifying patterns in the fiscal policy implementation across selected emerging economies and its resultant macroeconomic outcomes. The methodology encompasses a comparative analysis using econometric models to evaluate data collected over two decades. Findings suggest that while expansionary fiscal policies generally stimulate short-term economic growth, they can also lead to inflationary pressures and increased debt levels, potentially destabilizing the economy in the long term. The research further reveals that the effectiveness of fiscal policies is significantly influenced by the existing economic structure and governance frameworks within each country. We conclude that for fiscal policies to be more effective and sustainable, they should be tailored to the specific economic and institutional contexts of each emerging nation. Policymakers are encouraged to adopt a balanced approach, combining short-term growth objectives with long-term economic stability considerations.
