The National Economic Council (NEC) is a part of the executive branch of the United States government. It was established to advise the President on economic policy and coordinate economic policy-making across various government agencies. The NEC focuses on issues such as job creation, economic growth, and fiscal responsibility. The Council is led by the Director of the National Economic Council, who works closely with other senior advisors and cabinet members. The NEC plays a crucial role in shaping policies that impact the overall economy, including trade, taxation, and regulatory matters, ensuring that the President's economic agenda is effectively implemented.
