Demand side policy

Economics.

Policy aimed at stimulating spending and hence demand for goods and services in the economy.

For example an increase in government spending or a decrease in interest rates would increase demand for goods and services, causing the aggregate demand curve to move to the right.

Tends to be associated with Keynesianism.
