标普：新西兰的财政和经常账户赤字可能对信用评级产生压力。 ...

该法案预计将节省1.9万亿美元，大部分（1.2万亿美元）直到10年预算窗口的后半段才能实现： 德意志银行的Brett Ryan指出，JCT的评分与德意志银行此前预计的总体赤字假设基本一致。然而，JCT的评分并未关注财政前景的关键要素，如关税收 入和潜在支出增加的估算。德银强调： （特朗普任期内）似乎没有采取任何认真的措施来控制历史高位的赤字，未来几年赤字仍将超过 GDP 的 6% 以上。 特朗普的税改法案将导致近期财政赤字大幅增加，十年内为美国新增约5万亿美元债务，即使考虑税收延期措施也难以抵消这一趋势。 近期，美国税务联合委员会(JCT)对众议院筹款委员会标记版本的初步评分，税改法案将在未来10年增加3.8万亿美元赤字，其中2.2万亿美元（约58%） 将在前五年产生。更令人担忧的是，负责任联邦预算委员会(CRFB)估计，若将临时条款考虑在内，该法案实际将为美国增加5.2万亿美元债务。 支出前置、节约后置的结构性问题 德银表示，这项法案的独特之处在于支出和减税措施集中在前期，而抵消措施则集中在后期。 根据法案，约55%的总赤字增加(2.8万亿美元)将发生在预算窗口的前半部分，而只有40%的抵消措施(9700亿 ...

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. economy is facing new challenges as rising government borrowing costs and a potential increase in the deficit threaten to impact fiscal sustainability and economic growth [1][3]. Group 1: Economic Impact - The recent downgrade of the U.S. credit rating by Moody's and the challenges in passing the Republican tax bill have led to a sell-off in U.S. Treasuries, causing yields to rise sharply [1]. - The 30-year Treasury yield reached 5.089%, the highest level since October 2023, while the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.595%, marking its peak since February 2023 [1]. - The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) predicts that the Republican tax plan could increase the deficit to about 7% of GDP, an unprecedented level for a low-unemployment economy [3]. Group 2: Fiscal Policy Concerns - The rising interest rates mean the government will need to allocate more funds to cover interest payments on nearly $29 trillion in debt, potentially leading to higher taxes or reduced government services for citizens [4]. - The high-interest environment not only affects government finances but also increases borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, which could suppress economic activity [4]. Group 3: Political Dynamics - There is skepticism regarding whether the Trump administration will make significant fiscal adjustments, as Republican leaders believe that economic growth from tariffs and deregulation will offset revenue losses from tax cuts [5]. - Analysts suggest that there will be no substantial fiscal consolidation in the foreseeable future, and the U.S. is likely to continue running large deficits [5]. - The Trump administration's previous promises to address the deficit through significant spending cuts have been scaled back, with current Republican sentiment showing less concern for fiscal deficits compared to a decade ago [5].

由于美国政府债务风险持续上升，穆迪评级公司（Moody's Ratings）于上周五宣布，将美国的主权信用 评级从最高等级Aaa下调至Aa1，并将评级展望从"负面"调整为"稳定"。值得注意的是，此前惠誉评级 （Fitch Ratings）已于2023年，标普全球评级（S&P Global Ratings）早在2011年便已将美国评级下调至 非最高等级。至此，美国已全面失去了全球三大评级机构的最高评级。 穆迪为何下调美国评级？ 穆迪指出，美国历届政府和国会未能就遏制巨额财政赤字达成有效共识。目前正在讨论的财政方案，也未 显示出在未来数年内能实质性削减强制性支出和赤字的可能性。穆迪预计，未来十年，美国赤字将持续扩 大，主要原因在于福利支出上升，而政府收入增长趋于平缓。 报告还指出，若税收和支出结构未作出调整，美国政府的财政灵活性将进一步受限。穆迪预测，到2035 年，包括利息支出在内的强制性支出将占联邦政府总支出的78%，高于2024年的73%。若2017年《减税 与就业法案》全面延续，未来十年将额外增加约4万亿美元的结构性赤字（不含利息），这是穆迪的基准 情境预期。 据其模型估算，美国联邦财政赤字预计将从202 ...
