IMF: The United States needs additional measures to address the debt and deficit issues

The IMF stated that the economic growth in the United States is insufficient to quickly address the expanding government debt and fiscal deficit issues, and other measures are needed to improve the fiscal situation. IMF President Kristalina Georgieva said in Bangkok that although higher economic growth helps alleviate the debt burden, relying solely on growth may not be enough to offset the pressures brought by high deficits and high interest expenditures.
