All of the following are macroeconomic goals EXCEPT:

A. Improved standard of living.
B. Equal distribution of income.
C. Viable balance of international trade.
D. Stable prices.
E. Economic growth.

Answer :

B) Equal distribution of income. Equal distribution of income is not considered a primary macroeconomic goal.

The question is about identifying which option is not a primary macroeconomic goal. Macroeconomic goals generally focus on overall economic performance, and these include:

  • Economic growth

  • Low unemployment

  • Stable prices (low inflation)

  • A sustainable balance of trade

While an improved standard of living is a broad outcome of these goals, the equal distribution of income is not typically a primary macroeconomic goal.

It is more aligned with socio-political aspirations aimed at reducing inequality rather than the fundamental objectives of macroeconomic policy.
