The paper analyses the fiscal and monetary policy components of the economic stimulus packages, incorporating gender and human rights assessments. The four specific components are:
Food security
Social protection
Social infrastructure and service provisioning and
Economic activity and employment.
The empirical evidence from the Asia-Pacific countries can provide insights to the Ministry of Finance in designing economic stimulus packages to deal with the second wave of the pandemic. The study was published as an NIPFP monograph in May 2021. The findings were presented in the UN and ILO meeting in Geneva in November 2021.
