贾天楚｜中信证券海外研究分析师 S1010524040002 海外研究｜特朗普能压降美国财政赤字规模吗？ 我们经过测算发现，基准情形下，通过增加关税、压降北约军费支出与DOGE减少支出或难对冲减税带来的财政赤字 增加，2025-2026年美国财政赤字率或难大幅下降。一方面，受限于两院博弈以及党内派系分歧，减税政策或"瘦身 落地"；另一方面，通过增加关税、DOGE以及北约军费压缩的方式带来的金额或低于特朗普口头沟通的规模。此 外，特朗普政府或还倾向通过压降联邦基金利率来降低利息支出压力，不过该方法或需至26/27年方能见成效。同时 需关注保险金支出的压降政策。整体来看，2025年美国或仍呈现"小幅宽货币以及稳财政"的政策风格，财政赤字率 或在高位保持稳定。 风险因素：中美关系走向超市场预期；美联储货币政策超预期；美国经济韧性超预期；特朗普贸易政策及关税摩擦超 预期；模型测算及情景假设出现偏差；全球关税摩擦引发的出口波动超预期；马斯克政策执行效果超预期；两党关于 财税等问题博弈超预期。 陈俊云｜中信证券前瞻研究首席分析师 S1010517080001 前瞻｜全球SaaS云计算：需求趋稳，短期关注宏观预期改善、AI ...
