End passive resistance in the Ruhr:
Stresemann ordered that the government stop paying workers who refused to work in order to reduce government expenditure.
Introducing a new currency:
Stresemann introduced the Rentenmark that was worth one trillion marks. The government could now keep tight control over the amount of money in circulation, and old inflated marks would gradually be cashed in.
Balancing the Budget:
To cut expenditure further Stresemann raised taxes, cut the salaries of government employees and fired civil servants. Government debt declined and confidence in the Weimar Republic was restored.
