| Abstract | Monetary and fiscal policies are important responsibilities of the government, and they are closely connected. To avoid conflicts between them and maintain a stable economy and financial system, these policies need to operate in a zone of stability. The biggest danger of stepping outside this zone is that the public might lose trust in the government and its decisions. In recent years, both policies have been pushed closer to the limits of this stability zone because they were often used to boost economic growth. However, tests like the ADF Unit Root, Johansen Cointegration, and Multivariate Regression Analysis show that in Pakistan, the country's fiscal (government spending and taxation) and monetary (control of money supply and interest rates) authorities work well together. Their combined efforts remain within the region of stability, helping to keep the economy stable, protect institutions, and allow for careful policy adjustments when needed. We have assessed the degree of coordination between Pakistan's authorities in charge of its monetary and fiscal policies, as well as the Region of Stability for each policy. These estimates add to the body of knowledge already available on the topic. |
