Significance Fiscal constraints limit the ability of US states to practise counter-cyclical fiscal policy, and some states and municipalities had budgetary troubles even before the pandemic. Pension deficits are a particular problem. The USD500bn Federal Reserve (Fed) programme to buy states' municipal bonds has been barely used. Impacts The Biden administration will be tested in trying to get the Senate, which is likely to remain Republican, to provide money to states. If a city files for bankruptcy, contagion could spread statewide and, more broadly, the US municipal bond market could be disrupted. Even if a vaccine is widely distributed in 2021, recovery will remain fragile as a result of permanent scarring and behavioural change.
