Quick Glance: IMF Warns of Fiscal Deficits in US and China
- The IMF has warned the US that its massive fiscal deficits have stoked inflation and pose “significant risks” for the global economy.
- Concerns were also raised about Chinese government debt, with the country projected to have a deficit of 7.6 per cent in 2025, more than double the average for other emerging markets.
- In addition to the US and China, the fund named two more countries that “critically need to take policy action to address fundamental imbalances between spending and revenues”.
- The IMF noted that “large and sudden increases” in US borrowing costs typically lead to surges in government bond yields globally and exchange rate turbulence in emerging markets and developing economies.

Quick Glance: Fitch downgrades China's sovereign credit outlook
- Fitch Ratings has downgraded China’s sovereign credit outlook to negative, prompting pushback from Beijing.
- The downgrade reflects “increasing risks to China’s public finance outlook” as the country attempts to move away from real estate-led growth.
- Fitch said it expected the government deficit to rise to 7.1 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024, up from 5.8 percent last year.
- China’s economy, the world’s second-largest, is grappling with slowing growth amid a host of headwinds, including a shrinking population, weak consumption, a prolonged real estate slump, and capital outflows.

Quick Glance: IMF upgrades global growth forecast despite risks
- The International Monetary Fund slightly raised its global growth forecast on Tuesday, noting that the economy had proven 'surprisingly resilient' despite inflationary pressures and monetary policy shifts.
- IMF's chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, indicated that the global economy is heading for a 'soft landing,' with risks to the outlook now broadly balanced.
- While advanced economies are expected to lead the growth, dim prospects in China and other major emerging markets could impact global trade partners, according to the report.
- Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.
