Germany's Aging Population and Record Social Spending: A Preview of America's Fiscal Future?
About this episode
Germany's Ifo Institute reported this week that its aging population is pushing social spending to record highs, a fiscal dynamic that closely mirrors the pressures the US Social Security and Medicare systems are heading toward. We examine what demographic-driven fiscal stress looks like, how it affects bond markets and currency strength, and what lessons American investors can draw.
