She shared her opinion on the Telegram channel. On Sunday, the head of the US Treasury announced a slowdown in the country's economy, but noted that, despite the high level of inflation, this is not a recession, but a «necessary phenomenon after rapid growth.»

Thus, only in the first summer month they added 1.3 percent. The annual figure was a record since November 1981.
