WASHINGTON, July 12The United States risks facing a sudden drop in demand for its government bonds due to the authorities’ inability to restore the country’s financial stability, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said ).
«Financial stability risk could manifest itself in the form of an unexpected decline in foreign demand for US fixed-income securities, which are a major component of the country's external liabilities,» the organization's report states.
As the fund emphasized, this threat may materialize if the US authorities are unable to restore financial stability in the economy. However, according to IMF estimates, the likelihood of such a risk remains moderate due to the dominant status of the dollar as a reserve currency.
