What is anti cyclical planning?

Anti-cyclical planning is a strategic approach used by governments and organizations to counteract economic fluctuations, particularly during downturns. It involves implementing policies and investments that stimulate economic activity when the economy is weak, aiming to stabilize growth and reduce the severity of recessions. This can include increased public spending, infrastructure projects, or tax incentives. By acting counter to the prevailing economic cycle, anti-cyclical planning seeks to smooth out volatility and promote long-term stability.
