2008 Financial Crisis: The U.S. also enacted significant stimulus measures during the 2008 financial crisis, including the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
China
2008–09 Stimulus Package: China introduced a RMB¥ 4 trillion (approximately $586 billion) stimulus package to counter the effects of the global financial crisis.
