The government budget can be used to bring in economic stability. Economic stability refers to the minimization of fluctuations in prices (i.e., control of inflationary and deflationary trends) in the economy. Appropriate taxation, subsidies and public expenditure policies may be used for this purpose. When there is inflation, government can reduce its own expenditure and may impose new taxes and raise the rate of existing taxes, thus reducing aggregate demand and inflationary pressure thereby. When there is deflation, the government can increase its own expenditure. It can also reduce taxes and give subsidies to encourage spending by the people, thus increasing aggregate demand and reducing deflationary pressure thereby.
