This encompasses a wide range of measures, including fiscal policy (the use of government spending and taxation to influence economic conditions), monetary policy (regulating the money supply and interest rates to control inflation and stabilize the currency), and trade policy (regulating trade with other nations through tariffs and agreements).

It is shaped by economic theories, political ideologies, and the specific economic conditions of a country.
