Close collaborations with government’s responding to the Covid-19 pandemic produced a range of monetary and fiscal policy recommendations for longer term recovery and future resilience. As we continue to face multiple crises, what have learnt about the effectiveness of range of instruments and policies – from interest rate policies, quantitative easing, progressive taxation and trade policy – when it comes to establishing shock proof and inclusive fiscal policies are needed as we face multiple crisis.
