Morphology
The meaning ('government policy on taxation, spending, and borrowing') is directly derivable from combining 'fiscal' (relating to government revenue and spending) with 'policy' (a guiding plan or principle). This is a straightforward compositional relation, common across many languages, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Fiscal policy comes from the idea of the government's money 'purse' or box, and fiscal points to that state money. So, fiscal policy means the choices a government makes about 'tax', 'spend', and 'borrow' to help the economy grow or to slow it down.
