English term or phrase: backstope

"Since the government was now the backstop to the market economy, and since its resources were stretched, it was natural that it would try to limit the potential calls on its purse".

E se a essere "stretched" fosse un bilancio, si può parlare di bilancio "tirato"?
Grazie
