IMF Economist Warns Soaring US Debt Could Trigger Fiscal Crisis and Dollar Decline
- Former IMF economist Olivier Blanchard warns the US faces a fiscal crisis due to soaring debt and deficits
- The spiraling US debt is concerning for BRICS and developing nations who hold US dollars in reserves
- A US financial decline could benefit BRICS by pushing local currencies over the US dollar for trade
- Blanchard said the US needs to control debt before things get "messy and out of hand"
- If the US debt goes out of control, only the US will suffer while BRICS and others will move on, strengthening their economies
