據(jù)舊金山聯(lián)邦儲備銀行稱,拜登政府的萬億美元財政刺激政策導(dǎo)致美國的通脹率高于其他西方國家。
A report released by the bank said the US inflation rate spiked higher than other countries in March 2021, shortly after Congress passed President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package.
該機構(gòu)發(fā)布報告稱,2021年3月,美國國會通過拜登總統(tǒng)的1.9萬億美元(約合12.1萬億元人民幣)新冠紓困計劃不久之后,美國的通貨膨脹率飆升,超過其他國家。
“Fiscal support measures designed to counteract the severity of the pandemic’s economic effect may have contributed to this divergence by raising inflation about 3 percentage points by the end of 2021,” analysts wrote.
分析人士稱:“這些財政支持政策旨在抵消疫情對經(jīng)濟造成的嚴(yán)重影響,但2021年底美國的通脹率因此提高了約三個百分點。”
