To me, one thing about a nation's economy is not just in the hands of the president alone to solve; it requires the president to work hand in hand with others for easy policy implementation on how to tackle the economic wellbeing of a nation.
If I were to have presidential power (which I don't wish to), the first thing to do is to make sure all eligible policies that are already signed into law in the country but are not working based on some form of political interest start doing what they are meant to do. Another thing is to create employment opportunities where necessary, because increases in employment are associated with a corresponding reduction in a country's poverty rate. If a majority of a country's population has been moved out of poverty, there should be a higher tendency for a little positive economic change.
Indeed it is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. As the president of a country, shaping and managing the nation's economic growth will be a very important responsibility and the economic challenges in each country are unique. Here I try to outline some important points to consider in approaching economic growth and budget planning Admittedly or not economic policy requires careful analysis and consideration of various factors, and the following points should be seen as a starting point.
Balancing economic growth with social welfare. Recognizing that economic growth is important, economic growth must not come at the expense of social welfare in terms of policies that prioritize income redistribution, poverty alleviation, and social safety nets to ensure that the benefits of growth are shared fairly among all segments of society.
Encouraging international trade and investment and engaging in international trade and attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) can stimulate economic growth with a note that being able to manage external dependence means that not 100% dependence on foreign investment, trade or debt can make a country vulnerable to external influences. The government here must be able to advocate for policies that prioritize domestic industry, promote self-sufficiency, and develop resilience to global economic shocks and Increased fiscal responsibility and transparency where well-managed fiscal policy is essential for economic stability and growth.
Yes. The government carries out the people's mandate starting from effective budget planning, and transparent governance so as to create an environment of trust, attract investment, and ensure optimal allocation of resources, for example seeking skills development with education and training where an educated and skilled workforce is an important asset for economic growth in a country.
