U.S. economy will be growing faster than 3% this time next year, predicts Treasury’s Bessent 

• A mixture of commercial policies supporting growth, tax cuts and the abolition of restrictions in the activity process will be canceled soon. After an annual contraction of 0.3 % in the first quarter, according to the Trump administration. “We will park at the end of the year,” Treasury Secretary Scott Besin said during a large -scale interview.

The Trump administration expects our growth directly in the next 12 months after the first quarter shrinkage, as the benefits of its economic agenda are rooted.

In a large -scale interview with Bloomberg TV on Friday, Treasury Secretary Scott Besent predicted a group of trade policies supporting administration, a tax reduction agenda and the abolition of restrictions in the activity. During the 2024 campaign, Trump promised to improve the lives of low -income voters in the societies left by globalization.

“I certainly expect this time next year to be north of three [percent growth]”We will run the corner at the end of the year,” said Pesin.

The only concern that he has had to have was that Democratic courts and legislators may throw sand in business, for example the accelerated statement needed to operate the ongoing boom in energy intelligent intelligence centers with new interest projects.

During the first three months of this year, the American economy decreased by an annual rate of 0.3 % as companies were stored on imports before the punitive tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Pessimism raised over the global view later among the chief executives of the opinion in April by Fortune and Deloitte.

During the interview, Bessent talked about a number of major economic issues currently paid by the administration, such as Trump’s tax reduction package, “a large and beautiful bill.”

Reducing the financial deficit remains difficult in the short term

Pesint said that one of the main aspects of the draft law that can accelerate growth is the ability of local manufacturers to fully expenses instead of declining over time, which reduces its tax income.

He added that this, in addition to the savings of reducing a plan in the cost of medications, will reduce the deficit as a percentage of the total economy.

“President Trump has made this very bold proposal about the pricing of prescribed drugs that can provide large sums of money,” Pesin said.

However, there are estimates from the congress Budget Office that the total cost will pay the deficit up by $ 3.8 trillion. BESSENT admitted the budget deficit next year can exceed 3 % of the goal of GDP even in an optimistic scenario.

“We did not get here overnight, we will not get there tomorrow,” he said. “What I talked about is something with three in front of it by 2028.”

Optimistic about a large number of commercial deals in the next two weeks

The Treasury Secretary holds a personal responsibility for the leadership of the commercial talks held in conjunction with the American commercial actor Jimmy Jerson. After temporarily stopped the so-called “mutual” definitions-a wrong name because it is based on a deficit instead of import duties imposed on American goods-the administration promised 90 deals in 90 days. So far, not only one has been reached with UK Prime Minister Kiir Starmer, who was criticized by experts as high in detail.

More on their way, according to the Minister of the Treasury.

“We have 18 important commercial partners, so what everyone should focus on,” said Pesin. “We have concluded a deal with the United Kingdom, however, my sense has ended during the two weeks that we will announce many big deals.”

Germany plays a major role in the commercial conflict of the European Union of Trump

However, the exception of one of this seems to be the European Union. The White House expressed its clear frustration with Brussels by announcing one side that a 50 % tariff will be imposed on all imported goods in early next month. This level exceeds that Trump by 20 %, who claimed himself will be fair and mutual, and comes before the end of the 90 -day stopping in early July. (After a phone call with European Commission President Ursula von der Lin on Sunday, Trump was late for a 50 % tariff until June 9.)

The main representative of the conflict is Germany, a major source that relies heavily on accessing the US market. Relations between Trump and the government in Berlin were very poor-a fact that Vice President JD Vance did not help in reprimanding the state in February to close the extremist AFD party.

Bessent struck an optimistic tone, praising his German counterpart after this week’s meeting with the new Finance Minister Lars Klingille at the meeting of the Group of Seven in Canada.

He said: “He was very respondent. I think the new advisor, Mirz, will provide an opportunity to reset the United States of Germany, so I am very optimistic that Germany may help push the European Union forward here,” he said.

Capital revenues are constantly high

Bessent pushed back against the idea that foreign investors are losing an appetite for the United States Treasury, on the pretext that the recent rise in borrowing cost reflects a wider direction that affects the demand for government bonds that affect other countries, including Japan.

He said that the audio support for the administration of digital assets can raise the demand for American sovereign debt, which estimates $ 2 trillion in the new demand from the increasing Stablecoin supplies that use the cabinet as a reserve.

He said that more relief could come this summer when the financial organizers in the Federal Reserve, the currency observer and the federal deposit insurance institution, are expected to be approved by the changes in the proportion of supplementary financial lever. SLR requires all lenders to keep at least 3 % of their capital for their total exposure regardless of risks, with systematic important institutes subject to a 5 % rule.

He said: “The banks are punished for the treasury contract,” saying that the charges imposed on risk -free assets such as US government bonds are not logical.

The privatization of the American mortgage giants, Fani May and Faridi

Trump recently pushed the idea of ​​floating arrows in the government -sponsored agencies, Fani May and Faridi Mac. The duo played a major role in lubricating the US housing market wheels by ensuring nearly seven out of 10 American mortgage loans that extend to home owners, according to the National Real Estate Mediators Association. Weeks before the collapse of the brothers Lehman, both were seized in September 2008 and insured to prevent more infection.

Pesin said that the administration will turn its attention to its partial privatization once it achieves its tax and commercial agendas. He said that the basic condition is whether the government can gradually get rid of ownership in a way that prevents the spread between the rates of mortgages on the risk -free treasury.

“There are several ways to do this and we explore it,” he said.
