Global Economic Woes Loom as US Debt Ceiling Deadline Approaches.
TL;DR Summary
World Bank President David Malpass has warned that the risk of a US payments default is adding to problems facing a slowing global economy, with rising interest rates and high debt levels already choking back investments needed to fuel greater output. Malpass said that he believed that the standoff between Democrats and Republicans over raising the $31.4tn US statutory borrowing cap would be resolved. Malpass also expressed concern about a new deal being finalised by Suriname's government and international bondholders to restructure nearly $600m in debt.
