Jamie Dimon Sounds Alarm On Ballooning US Fiscal Deficit: 'It Will Cause A Problem'
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), raised concerns about the perilous state of the U.S. fiscal deficit, which has swelled to a staggering $1.9 trillion in 2024. This deficit, amounting to over 6% of the nation's GDP, shows no signs of diminishing in the coming years.
杰米·戴蒙，摩根大通首席执行官纽约证券交易所代码：JPM）对美国财政赤字的危险状况表示担忧，到2024年，美国财政赤字已激增至惊人的1.9万亿美元。这一赤字占全国GDP的6％以上，在未来几年中没有减少的迹象。
"We spent a lot of money during COVID and after COVID, and our deficit is 6%," Dimon remarked in an exclusive interview with the UK's Sky News on Wednesday, highlighting the significant impact of recent government spending.
戴蒙周三在接受英国《天空新闻》独家采访时说：“我们在COVID期间和COVID之后花了很多钱，赤字为6％，” 他强调了最近政府支出的重大影响。
Despite the benefits of such spending in driving economic growth during and after the pandemic, Dimon warned that unrestrained borrowing and spending could have dire consequences. "It may not always lead to good growth," he cautioned.
尽管此类支出在大流行期间和之后对推动经济增长有好处，但戴蒙警告说，不加限制的借贷和支出可能会带来可怕的后果。他警告说：“这可能并不总是能带来良好的增长。”
Dimon stressed the importance of addressing the fiscal deficit, not only for the United States but for global economic stability. "I think America should be quite aware that we've got to focus on our fiscal deficit issues a little bit more and that is important for the world," he stated.
戴蒙强调了解决财政赤字的重要性，这不仅对美国如此，对全球经济稳定也很重要。他说：“我认为美国应该非常清楚，我们必须更多地关注我们的财政赤字问题，这对世界很重要。”

IMF Issued Dire Projections On US National Debt And Fiscal Deficit
国际货币基金组织对美国国债和财政赤字发布了可怕的预测
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects that the U.S. fiscal deficit will remain above 6% of GDP until the end of the decade. This persistent deficit necessitates the government to borrow an additional $2 trillion annually, exacerbating the burden of financing excess spending and paying interest on existing debt.
国际货币基金组织（IMF）预计，在本十年结束之前，美国的财政赤字将保持在GDP的6％以上。这种持续的赤字要求政府每年额外借款2万亿美元，这加剧了为超额支出融资和支付现有债务利息的负担。
Consequently, the national debt is expected to surge to $46.79 trillion by 2029, representing 133% of GDP.
因此，预计到2029年，国民债务将激增至46.79万亿美元，占国内生产总值的133％。

Dimon also pointed out the role of the expanding fiscal deficit in maintaining high and persistent inflation rates.
戴蒙还指出了不断扩大的财政赤字在维持高和持续的通货膨胀率方面的作用。
He urged immediate action to mitigate these risks, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that ensures sustainable economic growth while reducing the deficit.
他敦促立即采取行动减轻这些风险，强调需要采取平衡的方法，确保可持续的经济增长，同时减少赤字。
"The sooner we focus on it, the better. I'm hoping that the government really focuses on how can we reduce that deficit and still have good growth," Dimon stated.
