Augustus favoured private enterprise and production of agricultural goods and manufactures for trade. In Egypt he encouraged the privatisation of land (much of which had belonged to the previous Greek monarchs) and his second governor cleared neglected irrigation canals to revive agriculture in the best agricultural area of the empire.

Augustus brought tax collection under the control of his government. Previously tax collection had been tendered to private individuals who farmed this collection in an extortionate manner to line their pockets. This created resentment among the conquered peoples. Julius Caesar had ended this by getting the towns in the conquered areas to collect the taxes themselves. Augustus, instead, entrusted this to a paid bureaucracy. This made tax collection more efficient and brought it under the control of the emperor. He set low taxation levels to ensure that they were not unfavourable to entrepreneurs. Augustus also promoted the development of infrastructure which facilitated the development of trade: roads, bridges and ports.
