WASHINGTON
Nike Air Max 97 Mens UK Sale , June 27 (Xinhua) -- The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday downgraded its growth forecasts for the U.S. economy in 2017 and 2018, citing significant policy uncertainties.
While the Donald Trump administration proposed reduction of fiscal deficit and debt, reprioritization of public spending and revamp of the tax system, "it became evident that many details about these plans are still undecided," the IMF said in a statement after concluding the Article IV consultations with U.S. authorities

Given these significant policy uncertainties, the IMF decided to remove the assumed fiscal stimulus from its forecasts for the U.S. economy earlier this year and base its new projections on unchanged policies.
"Specifically, it neither builds in the effect of tax reform nor the expenditure reductions proposed in the administration's budget," the IMF said, expecting the U.S. economy to grow 2.1 percent both in 2017 and 2018

However, significant policy uncertainties imply "larger-than-usual, two-sided risks" to the forecasts, the IMF said.
On the one hand, a medium-term path of fiscal consolidation would result in a growth rate that is below this baseline. On the other hand

However, the IMF believed the Trump administration is unlikely to accelerate annual U.S. economic growth to sustained 3 percent from 1.6 percent last year, "even with an ideal constellation of pro-growth policies."
"The international experience and U.S. history would suggest that a sustained acceleration in annual growth of more than one percentage points

The IMF also said the Federal Reserve should continue gradually raising interest rates, as the central bank has largely achieved its dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment.
"Alongside the ongoing normalization in policy rates, it is appropriate that the Federal Reserve looks to unwind the post-crisis increase in its holdings of treasury and mortgage backed securities

Earlier this month, the Fed raised the benchmark interest rates for the fourth time since December 2015 and unveiled a plan to trim its balance sheet later this year.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) -- A young Mexican recently deported from the United States killed himself by jumping off a border bridge, Mexican media reported on Tuesday.
The man "jumped off the first roadway bridge he came across when entering Tijuana" from the San Ysidro border crossing point in San Diego, California, Mexican daily La Jornada said.
The incident took place around 9 a.m. (1500 GMT), barely an hour after he was returned to Mexico, the daily said.
Red Cross paramedics took the man, who has yet to be identified, to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries minutes later, news magazine Proceso said.
U.S. President Donald Trump's crackdown on undocumented migrants could potentially lead to the deportation of millions of Mexicans and other Latin Americans in the coming months.
