budget deficit
Discussion focused on whether budget deficits are manageable when economic growth exceeds debt issuance or interest costs. Robin Wigglesworth said US growth currently reduces near-term solvency concerns, but warned deficits become problematic when debt-servicing costs outpace growth 1. Peter Boockvar argued the US deficit matters to bond markets because investors are resisting long-duration lending to heavily indebted countries 5, while other items called for deficit reduction in New Zealand, Hungary and France 234.
