What was our country’s fiscal policy during the SARS period?

1. During the SARS period, our country’s fiscal policy was to “guarantee people’s livelihood.”

2. During the SARS epidemic in 2003, the State Council established a SARS prevention and control headquarters, the central government established a SARS prevention and control fund, and allocated special funds for the construction of a national disease prevention and control network to improve The treatment capacity of medical institutions. The central government's allocation of special funds for the construction of a nationwide disease prevention and control network plays a role in improving the social security system and improving material security for people's lives.

This huge role of finance is specifically reflected in "Finance is the material guarantee for establishing and improving the social public service system." This move created a peaceful and harmonious living environment for the people and achieved a great victory in the fight against SARS. This is reflected in the fact that it is a "material guarantee for consolidating state power" and "a material guarantee for achieving fair distribution of income, improving the social security system, and improving people's lives."

3. Fiscal policy refers to the guiding principles for fiscal work set by the state based on the tasks of political, economic, and social development in a certain period, and regulates aggregate demand through fiscal expenditure and taxation policies. Increasing government spending can stimulate aggregate demand and thereby increase national income; on the contrary, it can suppress aggregate demand and reduce national income. Taxation is a contractionary force on national income. Therefore, increasing government taxation can suppress aggregate demand and reduce national income. On the contrary, it can stimulate aggregate demand and increase national income. It is formulated by the state, represents the will and interests of the ruling class, has a distinct class character, and is restricted by a certain level of development of social productive forces and corresponding economic relations.
