Biden takes US from AAA to AA+ and believe us you, it’s the start
Share on FacebookShare on X

The United States, world’s biggest economic powerhouse, is currently facing challenges related to its increasing debt and fiscal decisions. Over time, the US has adeptly managed its financial obligations by adjusting the debt ceiling to prevent defaults. However, this practice has led to a mounting burden of debt.

Janet Yellen’s Prophetic Words

Recently, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned Congress of potential difficulties in meeting the country’s payment obligations, which were to arise as early as June 1. This situation demanded attention and prudent action to avoid financial distress.

US is currently engaged in a number of non-revenue-generating-exercises such as funding Ukraine’s war against Russia, green energy madness and general woke agenda. Amidst this backdrop, the only thing President Biden attempted was to alter the definition of “Recession” as a measure to mitigate the challenges faced. Such actions can full the gullible crowd but in general create an unfavourable public image in times of economic uncertainties.

Fitch gives the Twitch

The recent actions of Fitch Ratings have brought forth significant implications for the United States’ economic standing. By downgrading the nation’s long-term foreign currency issuer default rating from AAA to AA+, Fitch has dented the country’s economic prestige.

The primary reason for this downgrade is attributed to the recurring debt ceiling disputes that have become commonplace in Washington. The repetitive political standoffs and eleventh-hour resolutions have not inspired confidence in Fitch’s assessment of the nation’s fiscal management. This cycle of fiscal brinkmanship has left the rating agency unimpressed and concerned about the nation’s ability to address its financial challenges responsibly.

Despite a bipartisan agreement to suspend the debt limit until January 2025, Fitch remains unconvinced of the overall governance and fiscal responsibility exhibited over the past two decades. It appears that the standards of financial conduct have been on a gradual decline, causing consternation among investors and analysts alike.

The rating agency’s assessment also highlights the worrisome trajectory of the general government deficit. Fitch projects that it will rise to 6.3% of gross domestic product in 2023, compared to 3.7% in 2022. While the Fiscal Responsibility Act’s non-defense discretionary spending cuts may offer some improvement, it is deemed insufficient in addressing the broader fiscal outlook.

It becomes evident that the US faces significant challenges in restoring confidence in its financial management. The downgrade by Fitch serves as a clear signal of the need for prudent fiscal policies and governance reforms to address the rising deficit and regain the trust of rating agencies and investors.

The economic trajectory of the United States is at a critical juncture, and the actions of Fitch Ratings underscore the urgency to address the nation’s fiscal challenges. A steady deterioration in governance and fiscal responsibility, coupled with the projected increase in the general government deficit, demand careful consideration and strategic planning from policymakers. The road ahead requires concerted efforts to navigate the economic landscape successfully and rebuild the nation’s economic reputation.

Embrace the Uncertainty

The United States, as the world’s largest economy, enjoys certain advantages that provide a degree of protection against major upheavals witnessed in other countries. However, the potential consequences of current economic trends are not to be underestimated.

Unlike China, which experienced a rapid departure of companies following the Covid-19 outbreak, the US does not face a mass exodus of businesses seeking more favorable environments. Nevertheless, there are implications for the nation’s economic landscape. Companies may hesitate to expand as freely as before, which could diminish the attractiveness of US investments.

Regarding initial public offerings (IPOs), companies considering going public might delay their market debuts, choosing to retain cash in uncertain times. This cautious approach may temporarily affect market liquidity and investor sentiment.

American Startups may contemplate establishing themselves in other countries, such as Japan, India, China, or Vietnam, where opportunities and costs appear more favorable. This trend poses a challenge for the US, which has been a prominent hub for innovation but may now face increased competition from emerging markets.

Foreign investors are closely observing the situation, particularly considering the US’s internal challenges. As a result, foreign investment in the US may gradually decline, with investors potentially redirecting their attention towards more promising economies.

Nevertheless, the US remains a formidable player in the global economic landscape due to its resilience and innovative capacity. Previous experiences have demonstrated the nation’s ability to adapt and evolve, bolstering its standing on the world stage.

As the US navigates these uncertain economic waters, it witnesses the intricate interconnectedness of global economies and the far-reaching consequences of economic decisions. The US would do well to approach the current situation with prudence and foresight, recognizing the importance of strategic planning. And as the world observes the unfolding economic narrative, it is reminded of the role of wise decision-making in shaping the trajectory of nations.
