Revisions reveal true U.S. interest costs

Matthew Klein highlights that official data on net interest payments by U.S. businesses had been understated for years.

He points out that recent statistical revisions now confirm his longstanding view regarding the true scale of interest expenses faced by U.S. companies.

Klein has previously examined the impact of rate changes on global economies, noting that France was more adversely affected by higher global interest rates than other major economies. He has also discussed Fed research into revisions of China's current account data and reporting. His recent analysis extends this focus on statistical accuracy to U.S. corporate interest expenses.
