MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The chief economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, on Tuesday warned about the inadequacy of the US fiscal policy, as the country's fiscal deficit significantly worsened in 2023.
"Most worrying is the case of the United States where fiscal deficits have deteriorated substantially in 2023. Fiscal policy in the US should not be procyclical, even less so at this stage of the inflation cycle," Gourinchas said at the presentation of the IMF October 2023 World Economic Outlook.
