拜登政府萬億刺激計劃導致美國高通脹

Washington’s multi-trillion-dollar spending habit has driven inflation across the US higher than in most other Western countries, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

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濟造成的嚴重影響，但2021年底美國的通脹率因此提高了約三個百分點。”
