Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), speaks during a panel session on the opening day of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, on Monday, May 23, 2022. The annual Davos gathering of political leaders, top executives and celebrities runs from May 22 to 26.
NEW YORK: Ask some of the world’s rich and powerful descending on Davos this week and they’ll tell you: After a two-year pandemic-enforced hiatus from the Swiss ski resort, the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) just isn’t going to be the same.
The guest list is hundreds of names shorter, with many titans of finance conspicuously absent. The chiefs of Goldman Sachs Group Inc and JPMorgan Chase & Co aren’t going. Neither is BlackRock Inc’s Larry Fink or Steve Schwarzman, the private-equity billionaire.
