New York, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) — The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecast real GDP growth in the United States to be 2.6 percent in 2026, slightly higher than its January forecast of 2.4 percent, a report released Wednesday.
According to the report, after a slight decline in 2025, the US federal budget deficit is expected to exceed 6 percent of GDP in the next few years, while the federal debt-to-GDP ratio is projected to rise steadily over the medium term.
The IMF found that the tariff increase represents a negative shock to the US economy, expected to lead to a rise in the personal consumption price index by about 0.5 percent by early 2026 and a decline in output by about 0.5 percent.
The report notes that the rising public debt-to-GDP ratio, along with the rising short-term debt-to-GDP ratio, poses a growing risk to the stability of both the US and the global economy. –0–
