What is Debt Default?
A country is considered to be in default if it fails to repay its debts. A default on debt would have a negative impact on the country’s economy. It could affect stock markets, increase inflation risk, and raise interest rates. The current global macroeconomic situation could lead to the US being declared in a recession if it defaults. The risk of defaulting on debt is being warned by voices in the US.
Brian Moynihan (CEO of Bank of America) stated that the possibility of US debt default is something that should be considered in terms of preparation. Moynihan spoke to CNN and said that banks should be prepared for default.
“We must be prepared for it, not only in this country, but also in other countries around world. It’s possible to hope it doesn’t happen, but hope itself is not a strategy. So prepare for it.
