智通财经APP获悉，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，其提名的人选有望推动经济实现15%的增速——这一 目标虽极具雄心，却也清晰映射出凯文·沃什若最终获任该职位将面临的巨大挑战。 特朗普表示，如果沃什"能尽其所能"，那么"我认为我们能实现15%的增长，甚至更高"。"我认为他会非 常出色，而且他是个高素质的人。" 特朗普所指的具体指标——无论是同比增幅还是其他衡量维度——目前尚不完全明确。美国经济今年预 计增长2.4%，而过去50年的平均年增长率约为2.8%。从历史数据看，自20世纪50年代以来，美国国内 生产总值(GDP)仅在少数季度实现过15%以上的增速，典型案例是2020年第三季度——当时企业因疫情 停业后逐步恢复运营，推动经济出现报复性反弹。 值得注意的是，美联储官员在去年12月发布的最新经济预测中，初步拟定2026年仅实施一次降息操作; 然而市场投资者仍普遍预计，本年度内将迎来两次降息周期。 特朗普表示，在上一轮美联储主席遴选中，凯文·沃什本是他的"第二顺位人选"，而最终选择杰罗姆·鲍 威尔担任这一要职"是一个重大战略失误"。在周一播出的一段采访片段中，特朗普特别指出，正是时任 财政部长史蒂文·姆努钦的极力 ...
