United States (IMF)

United States – 2012 article IV consultation by IMF (08/2012). “Striking the right balance between fiscal consolidation and macroeconomic policy support would benefit the rest of the world, as it would avoid the risk of a spike in U.S. interest rates in the medium term and an abrupt decline in U.S. growth next year, at a particularly delicate juncture for the world economy. Further monetary easing year, at a particularly delicate juncture for the world economy. Further monetary easing may weaken the U.S. dollar, but would have positive spillovers from strengthening the U.S. economy and hedging against downside risks.”
