U.S. Treasury Secretary: The investment boom in the U.S. is just beginning, and the government shutdown is causing a daily loss of $15 billion.

On October 15, U.S. Treasury Secretary Becerra stated on Wednesday that the wave of investment flowing into the U.S. economy is sustainable and has just begun, but the current federal government shutdown is increasingly becoming an obstacle. Becerra said at an event during the International Monetary Fund and World Bank annual meetings in Washington, "There is suppressed demand in the market, and President Trump has unleashed the forces of economic prosperity through his policies." He added, "The only thing slowing us down right now is this government shutdown." Becerra pointed out that the government shutdown has begun to cost the U.S. economy about $15 billion in output each day. (Jin10)
