Public Finance

Public Finance is a branch of economics that studies how governments raise, allocate, and manage financial resources to support public services and achieve economic and social objectives.

Why Public Finance matters

Public Finance helps ensure:

  • Efficient allocation of resources
  • Fair income distribution
  • Macroeconomic stability
  • Provision of public goods that the private sector cannot efficiently supply

In short

Public Finance explains how governments get money, how they spend it, and how those decisions affect the economy and society.
