美国财政部长珍妮特·耶伦近日宣布，美国经济已实现长期追求的软着陆，这在历史上是不寻常的，甚至堪称罕见。在此情况下，高通胀得到了有效抑制，而经济却没有出现严重的放缓。耶伦在接受采访时表示：“我们现在看到的情况，我认为可以称之为软着陆。”
软着陆是指在经济增速放缓的过程中，能够有效地控制通货膨胀，避免陷入滞胀困境。此次美国经济的软着陆，一方面得益于耶伦领导的财政政策，另一方面也得益于美联储的货币政策。这使得美国经济在疫情期间实现了相对稳定的增长。
尽管如此，美国经济仍面临诸多挑战。首先是通胀压力，虽然目前高通胀得到了抑制，但通胀率仍高于美联储的目标水平。其次，经济放缓的风险依然存在，全球经济不确定性以及国内政治环境的变化都可能对美国经济产生影响。
此外，拜登政府还需应对财政赤字和债务问题。在耶伦看来，适度增加财政支出有助于经济增长，但必须控制在可承受范围内，避免引发债务危机。

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen recently announced that the US economy has achieved the long-awaited soft landing, which is unusual and even rare in history. In this case, high inflation has been effectively suppressed without causing a severe economic slowdown. Yellen said in an interview: “The situation we see now, I think we can call it a soft landing.”
A soft landing refers to a scenario where the economy can effectively control inflation during the slowingdown process and avoid stagnation. This soft landing of the US economy is attributed to both Yellen’s fiscal policies and the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies, which have resulted in relatively stable growth during the pandemic.
However, the US economy still faces many challenges. On the one hand, there is inflation pressure, although high inflation has been suppressed, the inflation rate is still higher than the Fed’s target level. On the other hand, the risk of economic slowdown still exists, and uncertainties in the global economy and domestic political environment could impact the US economy.
Furthermore, the Biden administration needs to address fiscal deficits and debt issues. In Yellen’s opinion, moderately increasing fiscal spending is beneficial to economic growth, but it must be controlled within acceptable limits to avoid triggering a debt crisis.
