The monetary policy is a measure that centres around the interest rates and access to credit. Therefore Federal interest rates are one of the main providers of monetary policy tools (Dashutina and Litvinova, 2021). This will affect the activities of the company where they borrow from each other at a rate which is known as a base rate for all the credit activities in the market.

Similarly, the fiscal policy of the government relates to taxation and borrowing, where high tax rates can reduce the business incentive to work and save (Ulubeyli et al., 2021).
