The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Dmitriev compared the ratio of public debt to GDP in Russia and the United States

Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), on Sunday, June 8, commented on the level of Russia's public debt in relation to GDP and compared it with indicators of other countries.

"Russia's debt-to-GDP ratio is less than 20% versus 100+% in Europe and 120+% in the United States," Dmitriev wrote on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund also noted that macroeconomic stability is crucial.

American leader Donald Trump said on June 4 that the US government debt ceiling is too destructive and should be completely abolished in order to avoid an "economic catastrophe." According to him, the debt ceiling is too destructive and it should not be entrusted to American politicians who may want to use it, despite the "terrifying" consequences both for the United States and indirectly for the whole world.
