WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The steadily widening U.S. current account deficit
poses a significant risk to the global economy and bolder action is needed
to cut the shortfall, an International Monetary Fund staff assessment of the
U.S. economy said on Friday.
IMF economists also warned that President Bush's plan to let workers divert
money into personal savings accounts as part of a proposal to overhaul the Society
Security retirement program could push the deficits higher if enacted.
The comments come at the end of the IMF's annual Article IV consultations
on the U.S. economy.
The IMF assessment said the U.S. current account deficit was likely to remain
near its recent record high and warned there were limits to global demand
for U.S. assets.
America's current account gap widened more than expected in the fourth
quarter of 2004 to a record $187.9 billion, driving the full-year trade
gap to new high of $665.9 billion, according to the government's most recent estimates.
