At some point, the US external debt will be larger than non-residents' demand for dollar-denominated debt
The US savings shortfall is structural and is being worsened by expansionary fiscal policies. This has resulted in a continuous rise in the US net external debt. In the future, the US external debt will inevitably exceed ( ex ante ) non-residents' demand for dollar-denominated assets. There will then have to be an adjustment that will be: Either rising interest rates and falling share prices in the United States; Or a depreciation of the dollar .
