 A general understanding of Economic Policy includes strategies, values and programmes adopted by a government. It helps in standardising the economy of a State/country to include growth, stability, equity and sustainability. It also involves outcomes on production, distribution and consumption of goods and services which affects individuals, businesses, and society as a whole.

Is it policymakers or policy decisions?

 "Policy decisions are the outcomes or specific actions taken as part of the policy-making process.

On the other hand, Policymakers are people or an individual whose prime task is to understand a challenge/issue, take decisions, formulate and implement policies" I write in an article in Meghalaya Monitor.
