Abstract
With the COVID-19 pandemic becoming increasingly prominent in early 2020 in Singapore, the amount of cases were on the rise. As shown in the Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered (SEIR) distribution chart, the number of people infected follows a hump-like pattern, indicating that it increased first and then fell subsequently. Given that this happened in a very short time frame, it is intriguing how the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent economic consequences were dealt with incredibly well, only possible through economic policy-making, fiscal policy being primarily significant. Expansionary fiscal policy comprises policies of reduction in tax rate and increase in public expenditure undertaken by the government to increase the Aggregate Demand (AD) in the economy.
