Billionaire investor Ray Dalio thinks reducing the U.S. budget deficit could stabilize the bond market and lower interest rates.

The founder of Bridgewater, one of the world's largest hedge funds, said the current projected deficit is 7.5% of U.S. gross domestic product. If that ratio goes down to 3%, the supply-demand imbalance in the bond market would be lessened significantly, Dalio said.

It’s the 55th annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. While Becky Quick is in Washington covering President Trump’s first week of his second term, Andrew Ross Sorkin is in the Alps with business leaders like Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Founder. The famed hedge funder who authored “Principles” is out with new reading material: “How Countries Go Broke: Principles for Navigating the Big Debt Cycle, Where We Are Headed, and What We Should Do.” In a sit-down interview with Andrew, Ray Dalio explains America’s deficit, ways to navigate a debt crisis, and investing amid a global transition to a new world order.
