Selon les analyses du DPB et du FMI, les déficits actuels sont en grande partie cycliques. Ils reculeront à mesure que l'économie se redressera.
PBO and IMF analyses indicate that the current deficits are largely cyclical, meaning that as the economy recovers the deficit will decline, but that there is a structural component to the deficit which will continue to exist even when the economy returns to its potential.
