The economic controls are of the following types.
Demand and supply controls:
The demand side controls are those one which restrict demand. While the supply side controls are aimed at restricting supply.  The demand further divided into the demand for the consumer goods, for intermediate goods, for stocks and for exports. Again, the supply is further divided into factors for production, for stocks and for imports. Therefore, the demand side controls are concerned with production and stocks.
