STOCKHOLM (Direkt) Högre energipriser kan komma att försvaga den amerikanska ekonomin genom att dämpa den privata konsumtionen.

Det sade Fed-chefen Ben Bernanke i en frågestund inför ett kongressutskott på onsdagen, enligt Bloomberg News.

“Högre energipriser skulle sannolikt bromsa tillväxten, åtminstone på kort
sikt.” Stigande drivmedelspriser “skapar åtminstone kortsiktigt ett
inflationstryck, och dessutom agerar det som en skatt på hushållens köpkraft och minskar konsumtionen, och detta är också ett sänke för ekonomin”, sade Ben Bernanke.

Han sade också att USA:s statsskuld bör sänkas till 75 procent av BNP. Landet står inför ett “budgetstup” nästa år om inte lagstiftarna vidtar ytterligare åtgärder, och USA skulle då genomgå mycket kraftiga och snabba förändringar som skulle vara negativt för återhämtningen och tillväxten.
