IMF warns the US about the severe consequences if it default on its debt

As the United States approaches its deadline to raise or suspend its borrowing limit, Republicans and Democrats remain sharply divided over the issue. Republicans in Congress are insisting that President Joe Biden’s administration agree to significant budget cuts in exchange for support to lift the limit before the country runs out of money to pay its existing bills.

The situation has become increasingly dire as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned on Thursday of severe consequences if the US defaults on its debt. The IMF’s warning came as the US Treasury Department announced that it would run out of cash to pay its bills by October or November of this year if Congress did not act to increase or suspend the borrowing limit. “Our assessment is that there would be very serious repercussions not only for the US but also for the global economy should there be a US debt default,” IMF communications director Julie Kozack told reporters, encouraging all parties to urgently resolve the matter.

IMF warns on broader instability. ” We have seen a world in the last few years that has been affected by many shocks, so we would want to avoid those severe repercussions,” Kozack said.

A default on the US debt would have far-reaching consequences, both for the US and for the global economy. It could lead to a downgrade of the country’s credit rating, making it more expensive for the US government to borrow money in the future. It could also lead to higher interest rates for consumers, making it more difficult for people to obtain credit for mortgages, car loans, and other purchases.

The IMF warned that a US default could also trigger a global financial crisis, as the US dollar is the world’s primary reserve currency. A default could lead to a loss of confidence in the US dollar, which could cause investors to pull their money out of US markets and investments.

Democrats have been calling for a “clean” increase of the borrowing limit, accusing Republicans of using extreme tactics to try and push their political agenda ahead of the so-called “X-date” — the point at which the US will be unable to meet its financial obligations.

But with the Biden administration refusing to negotiate on the debt ceiling, a standoff has arisen just weeks before the US risks running out of money to pay its obligations.

President Biden met with McCarthy earlier this week in a failed attempt to find common ground on the issue.Default is not an option,” Biden said after the talks had concluded, while McCarthy told reporters he “didn’t see any new movement” in the meeting, which was also attended by the Senate majority and minority leaders and the minority leader of the House.

The talks will resume on Friday as both sides look to resolve the issue before the X-date, which the US Treasury recently warned could come as soon as June 1.

The US has faced a similar debt ceiling crisis in the past,but the deadline to raise or suspend the US borrowing limit is fast approaching, and the stakes are high. Both Republicans and Democrats have acknowledged the severity of the situation, but they remain at odds over how to address it. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the fate of the US economy and the global financial system.
