Abstract

Against the backdrop of the countercurrent of globalization, economies of all countries are confronted with numerous challenges, and the adjustment of economic policies has become inevitable. This article starts from the manifestations and causes of the countercurrent of globalization and deeply analyzes the theoretical logic of economic policy adjustments, including aspects such as responding to external shocks, optimizing resource allocation, and promoting social equity. Furthermore, the direction of economic policy adjustment is explored, covering multiple fields such as trade, investment, currency, finance, industry, regional cooperation, green development, and social security, aiming to provide theoretical references for countries to formulate scientific and reasonable economic policies in the countercurrent of globalization.
