As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increasing focus on how the economy is rebuilt and the impact this will have on population health.

This glossary seeks to provide a common language and concise summary of the key economic terminology relevant for policymakers and public health at this time.
Keywords: economics; health inequalities; health policy; policy; public health.
