The main objective of this paper is to study the influence of fiscal policy on economic growth in euro area countries during the period of 2002- 2013. The implementation of fiscal policies by governments of different Member States needs to provide an impact on economic growth in the short- and long-run. Complex interactions between general government revenues and expenditures and economic growth are investigated by the means of regression analysis. The conclusion is that general government revenues based on non-distortionary taxes are more efficient in terms of supporting economic growth. The efficiency of government revenue policy and particularly the structure of taxes play a very important role in achieving economic development and fiscal consolidation.
