El tamaño de la cuenta general del Departamento del Tesoro de EE. UU. ha aumentado a aproximadamente 1 billón de dólares, alcanzando un máximo desde abril de 2021.

Golden Finance reports that on May 3rd, according to The Kobeissi Letter, the cash balance of the U.S. government continues to rise: the general account of the U.S. Treasury (TGA) has increased to about 1 trillion dollars, reaching a new high since April 2021. The TGA is the main checking account opened by the U.S. government at the Federal Reserve, used for holding and disbursing federal fiscal funds. Over the past three weeks, the TGA balance has increased by 300 billion dollars.
This surge in balance is mainly driven by the spring tax season, as U.S. residents and businesses paid their annual taxes in the weeks before April 15th. As a result, the U.S. Treasury issued 35 billion dollars less in short-term government bonds last week compared to March, briefly causing the total U.S. federal debt to dip below 39 trillion dollars.
However, as fiscal inflows into the TGA slow in the coming weeks, the issuance of short-term government bonds will increase again. The momentum of U.S. debt expansion may accelerate once more.
