economic
Regarding fiscal matters
Economic relates to the economy—the system of producing, distributing, and consuming goods and services.
Economic policy, economic growth, economic crisis.
The word also means financially practical or efficient: It wasn't economic to repair the old car.
This second sense overlaps with economical, though economical more often describes thrifty behavior while economic connects to larger systems.
