Two significant issues are at the heart of fiscal policy, also known as budgetary policy. They are:

• What should the government spend its money on?

• How should it raise funds to pay for its spending?

The government's priorities in addressing a nation's various economic, social, and other issues will determine the answer to the first question.

The government must spend more on health services when there is a risk of an epidemic spreading. The government would have to pay more in interest if it had previously taken out a loan.

On the second inquiry the public authority needs to consider different ways of raising assets. Should individuals be Burdened more? Which group of people should pay more taxes? Which goods will be subject to taxation? How much should the government borrow? From whom would it be a good idea for it to get and in what structure? The solutions to these inquiries are to be tracked down in the Arrangement targets of the public authority.
