How Debt Interest Influences the US Economy

by Giorgi Kostiuk

6 months ago


The economic realities of the US underscore its dependence on debt, raising questions about the sustainability of the country's financial model.

Rising Debt Costs

The US spends $4 billion a day on interest payments, amounting to $45,000 every second. This highlights the substantial financial burden as national debt levels have exceeded 121% of GDP compared to 60% in 2008.

Dollar Dominance in Global Economy

Despite financial chaos, the dollar remains a dominant force in the global economy. Over 60% of global reserves are held in dollars, and about 90% of all foreign exchange trades involve this currency.

Privileges and Consequences of US Debt

The US continues to enjoy an 'exorbitant privilege' from global investor confidence, allowing it to accumulate vast debt. However, excessive use of this advantage may lead to significant economic consequences as no long-term solution for debt management is in sight.

The impact of interest payments and the continuing dominance of the dollar highlight the financial challenges facing the US. Maintaining global confidence in the American economy remains a critical task.
