“IMF Warns of Global Economic Consequences if US Fails to Raise Debt Ceiling”

[ワシントン １１日 ロイター] – The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on the 11th that if the United States fails to raise the federal debt ceiling and defaults, it will be “extremely serious” not only for the U.S. economy but also for the global economy, such as rising borrowing costs. “It will have a significant impact,” he said.

IMF spokeswoman Julie Kossack said it was not possible to immediately quantify the impact of a US default on global growth.

U.S. officials should also be alert to new vulnerabilities in U.S. banks, including regional banks, that could emerge as interest rates rise, he said.
