[US media: The debt ceiling agreement is unlikely to significantly change the long-term fiscal trajectory of the United States] According to people familiar with the matter, the preliminary debt ceiling agreement has been reached, which will raise the US debt ceiling for two years and set new limits on spending during this time . The agreement would keep nondefense spending in fiscal year 2024 at about the same level as fiscal year 2023 and increase it by about 1% in 2025. The agreement would impose some new restrictions on certain government aid programs, such as food stamps. The deal faces hurdles in getting through Congress, and the compromise will likely need bipartisan support to pass the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. The proposed agreement is unlikely to substantially alter the long-term U.S. fiscal trajectory, as both sides backed away from their initial positions. The deal will have a minor impact on spending that accounts for less than a third of the federal budget, with spending on mandatory programs like Social Security and Medicare and interest on debt unaffected.
