IMF总裁称Bessent增长计划不足以遏制美国赤字与债务
Scott Bessent's growth plans aren't enough to tame surging deficit and debt pile, IMF chief says
IMF President Georgieva said that U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent's plan to reduce the deficit by relying on growth is not enough and fiscal measures are needed. U.S. federal debt has exceeded 100% of GDP, public debt has exceeded 40 trillion US dollars, and the deficit is expected to exceed 6% of GDP; the 10-year U.S. bond yield is hovering near the highest level since 2002, about 5.2% on Wednesday.
The president of the IMF questioned the U.S. Treasury Secretary’s idea of relying on growth to resolve debt, and gave specific reference points for a deficit exceeding 6% and a debt-to-GDP ratio exceeding 100%, which means that U.S. debt supply pressure and fiscal sustainability are still core variables in the market. Traders should pay attention to the transmission of high 10-year U.S. Treasury yields to U.S. dollar liquidity and risk appetite, and pay attention to the potential impact of debt concerns on the pricing of safe-haven assets.
IMF总裁指出Bessent依赖增长化解债务的思路不够，并给出6%赤字和142%债务GDP占比预测，为观察美债压力提供了具体参照。
