  1. Define fiscal deficit? Explain why this economic statistic is so closely monitored in small fixed exchange rate economies? Give two reasons.
Expert Solution
Step 1

INTRODUCTION:-

The fiscal deficit is the shortfall between the govt's matching of revenues spending. It's a figure that represents the president's entire liquidity requirements. New loans are not considered in the overall revenue calculation.
The general fiscal deficit (GFD) is defined as the variation between expenditure incurred (containing mortgages) and revenues (which include foreign donations) and non-debt income from investments. The neutral fiscal deficit is the general fiscal deficit less the national administration's surplus borrowing.

In most cases, a fiscal deficit occurs as a result of something like a budget shortfall or a significant increase in capital spending. Long-term investments, such as businesses, housing, as well as other developments, are created through capital investment.
