Version 0.4 (2024-05-22 12:53:29.552000)

updates: The new information highlights the risks posed by persistent US federal deficits to GDP, incomes, and living standards. It emphasizes that these deficits threaten to keep inflation high and interest rates elevated in the short term, while in the long term, they are likely to slow potential GDP growth, depress incomes and living standards, and increase the poverty rate. The information also mentions that government borrowing crowds out private investment, leading to slower job creation and economic growth. The primary driver of these deficits is mandatory federal spending, including Social Security, Medicare, and interest payments. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) forecasts that deficits will consistently surpass potential GDP growth, leading to fiscal shortfalls exceeding natural economic growth. Federal interest outlays are expected to exceed nominal GDP growth within the next decade. The analysis by Piper Sandler economists highlights the threat of big deficit spending crowding out economic growth. [299e3cdd]

updates: The article highlights the concern of debt sustainability in the US and the projected increase in the US public debt-to-GDP ratio. It also mentions the average interest cost on the US public debt and the persistence of brisk growth and above-target inflation due to unchecked deficits. The justification for fiscal largesse is seen as necessary to address existential threats and geopolitical rivalry. There are calls to erode central bank independence and a reliance on monetary policy to keep the economy stable.

Version 0.18 (2024-04-18 18:18:15.632000)

updates: The IMF's warning about the rising US debt underscores the significant risks it poses to the global economy. The report highlights the need for policy action to address the imbalances between spending and revenues, as well as the vulnerabilities in the private credit sector. The IMF warns that the astronomical rise in the U.S. national debt poses 'significant risks' to the global economy and threatens to continue fueling high inflation. The U.S. is projected to record a fiscal deficit of 7.1% in 2025, more than triple the level in other advanced economies. Under current policies, public debt in the U.S. is projected to nearly double by 2053. The Congressional Budget Office anticipates the national debt will grow to $54 trillion in the next decade. The U.S. is one of four countries that needs to critically address 'fundamental imbalances between spending and revenue.' The IMF warns that the massive amount of spending risks reigniting inflation and undermining financial stability worldwide. IMF chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas says 'something will have to give' [52f8aaeb].

updates: The IMF's warning underscores the importance of managing fiscal policies in the US and China, as they will have profound effects on the global economy and pose risks to other economies. The report also highlights the challenging year ahead for fiscal policy, with voters in 88 economies representing over half of the world's population and GDP going to the polls. This 'great election year' further complicates the task of maintaining stable public finances. The IMF expresses concern that if US inflation remains high, it could trigger a sell-off of financial assets worldwide, including stocks and government bonds. This problem could be particularly acute for low-income countries. The IMF expects US public debt to continue rising, driving global government debt to nearly 100% of global GDP by 2029. The agency calls on governments worldwide to exercise fiscal restraint.
