Abstract
Printing new money tends to create inflation unless excess money is removed from circulation by higher taxes. Muneeb Sikander writes that governments in emerging economies usually lack the ability to collect higher taxes, especially from the wealthy, and might choose to print money as opposed to taking more financially prudent mechanisms such as raising taxes or carrying out necessary fiscal reforms.
