Gorgieva: Growth alone can't fix US debt
The statements of IMF officials emphasized that relying solely on strong economic growth in the United States will not be sufficient to resolve the escalating public debt crisis. The Fund’s Chief, Kristalina Georgieva, clarified that the necessary measures to address debt and fiscal deficits must be faster and more comprehensive, and that relying on growth exceeding only 3% will not achieve the desired results quickly enough. At the same time, U.S. debt is heading toward unprecedented levels, increasing the risks of higher borrowing costs. Meanwhile, the President of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, confirmed that adherence to fiscal principles and addressing the size of the U.S. deficit are critical issues. This comes amid forecasts that U.S. public debt will rise to more than 106% of GDP by 2030, the highest level since 1946.
