US deficit poses ‘significant risks’ to global economy, warns IMF: Fund also cites concerns over fiscal ‘imbalances’ in UK, China and Italy
ft.com/content/0d098011-0ff5-4125-8cbb-5a5b281c9bd0
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: 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.

Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation
- Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.
- Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.
- Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.
- Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.
