At a broader level, macroeconomics deals with objectives such as maximizing national income, monitoring inflation and employment, ensuring economic growth, and raising standards of living.

Some of the lesser-known macroeconomic objectives are:

1. Minimizing inequality: Income inequality is a common issue in several countries and income redistribution between the rich and the poor is one of the objectives pursued by the macroeconomic policies.
2. Poverty reduction: Increasing poverty is a drawback for any growing economy. Poverty can be reduced using effective macroeconomic policies.
3. Competitiveness: Exports become relatively competitive due to low inflation strategies. The macroeconomic objective is to bring competition into the market and maintain a balance of exports and imports.
4. Encourage investments: Investments are promoted when interest rates are maintained at a lower rate through macroeconomic policies.
