  • Goldman Sachs sounds alarm: US debt-cost ratio will rise to dangerous levels

Goldman Sachs Group updated its long-term US fiscal outlook on Wednesday, and it is expected that a key measure of debt sustainability will rise to historic extreme levels. Goldman Sachs economists said, “In particular, expectations of future interest rate increases have greatly worsened the debt-to-gross domestic product (GDP) ratio and the trajectory of actual interest expenditure as a share of GDP.” US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has repeatedly used inflation-adjusted net interest expenses as the ratio of GDP to measure debt sustainability. She said last year that the 1% ratio “is absolutely fine; there's nothing to worry about.” Goldman Sachs's latest forecast shows that this ratio will steadily rise to 2.3% by 2034.

Interventions should be communicated in advance, and should mainly be aimed at dealing with fluctuations in the foreign exchange market,” Yellen said. “We don't think intervention is a tool that should be used routinely.”
