Economic policy is often divided into fiscal policy, monetary policy and structural policy. Fiscal policy is primarily about reducing and increasing taxes and expenditure, while monetary policy in recent times has focused on using the key rate to meet more or less clear inflation targets.

In 2011, we have witnessed growing tension between rich and poor countries. This has been particularly apparent when it comes to negotiations on trade and climate change. It can also be seen in association with regulation of the finance sector and cooperation on economic policy.

It is a "makeover" of the Stability and Growth Pact, but hardly an "extreme makeover" and fiscal union is still a long way away.
