Providing Stimulus Incentives for Businesses: focuses on potential measures to stimulate business investment. Should Congress decide that fiscal stimulus measures would prove useful in the current economic environment, it is likely that that decision follows from judgments that monetary policy alone is not enough, perhaps because it may be unusually weak given recent financial market conditions. From a risk management perspective, it could be useful to employ all available instruments of policy—both fiscal and monetary measures—to counter a significant slowdown in the economy. By the same principle of diversification across available policy instruments, stimulus measures should include measures designed to help boost business investment spending, as well as measures aimed at consumer spending.
