The US Fiscal Cliff
The US Fiscal Cliff
Global & Regional Focus Notes
30 Αυγούστου 2012
• The US has been running persistent budget deficits since 1970, mainly attributed to increasing government spending and a trend towards lower taxation since the late 1990s.
• The continuing disproportion between revenues and spending, combined with the aging of the population and the rising health care cost, could result in a greater accumulation of government debt and create doubts about longer-term debt sustainability of the US economy.
• Implementing effective consolidation and reform plans in a fragile US economic recovery will probably prove a real challenge for the US authorities.
