In this paper we discuss:

How likely a new global economic recession and financial crisis is in coming years;
The policy options available to counter this slump;
Why the concept of fiscal-monetary coordination will become popular;
How to prevent permanent monetisation of fiscal deficits and politicisation of such a proposal;
How to implement deficit monetisation in practice; and
Whether or not deficit monetisation is always the right policy response.
