This refers to the process where a government takes active steps to promote the growth of industries in its country. It often involves policies such as subsidies, tariffs, and infrastructure development.
Subsidies: These are financial aids provided by the government to businesses or industries to help them compete with international companies or encourage certain activities.
Tariffs: These are taxes imposed on imported goods. They make foreign products more expensive, thus protecting domestic industries from foreign competition.
Infrastructure Development: This refers to the construction and improvement of facilities like roads, bridges, power plants etc., which are necessary for economic activity.
