- FT pointed to the withdrawal of investors' investments from the United States due to Trump's policy
Large investors from Asia and the Middle East, including sovereign wealth funds, have begun to massively reorient their investments outside the United States amid the uncertain policies of American leader Donald Trump. This was reported on September 2 by the Financial Times (FT) newspaper.
According to investment firm Partners Group, some funds have requested the exclusion of American assets from investment portfolios, citing the risk of tougher duties and Washington's foreign economic policy, as well as the possibility of new restrictions on cross-border capital flows.
"More and more people in Asia are interested in assets outside the United States," said Roberto Cagnati, head of portfolio solutions at Partners Group.
According to him, investors are worried not only about where to invest their money, but also in what currency. Some people ask to open accounts in euros and deposit funds in European banks in order not to depend on the American financial system.
"Investors are requesting accounts in euros for risk reasons due to duties and fears of renewed trade wars. Some even ask to keep deposits outside the United States in case things go awry," Kanyati added.
Such caution reflects a general deterioration in the perception of the United States as a safe haven for long-term capital, the article clarifies.
Evgeny Shatov, a partner at Capital Lab, announced on August 13 that the US national debt has exceeded $37 trillion for the first time in history, which has increased it by $780 billion since the debt ceiling was raised. According to Shatov, the main threat to US financial stability is the lack of congressional agreement on raising the national debt ceiling.
