New York CNN —Friday marks the end of the annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, an elite gathering of some of the wealthiest people and world leaders. The meetings between CEOs, politicians, and global figures at Davos can help set the tone for the year ahead. CEOs and political officials are also worried about the United States hitting its borrowing cap on Thursday, forcing the Treasury Department to start taking “extraordinary measures” to keep the government open. If an agreement isn’t reached, markets could plunge (like they did the last time this happened in 2011) and the United States risks having its credit rating downgraded again. China’s removal of strict coronavirus restrictions late last year is also expected to unleash a wave of spending that may offset economic weakness in the United States and Europe.
The world's largest economy risks defaulting on its debt for the first time in modern history this summer as politicians wrangle over raising the country's debt limit, currently capped at $31.4 trillion.

If inflation is coming down anyway, it will be walloped by unneeded monetary policy, the Lazard CEO said. The lame-duck Congress needs to move on the debt limit soon — otherwise, it's "playing with matches." "The point is, if inflation is coming down anyway, then you're going to get walloped with the lagged effect of the monetary policy tightening, when you don't really need it," he said. "I would highlight the imperative on the debt limit in particular.
