Kevin McCarthy & David Gibson-Moore | Insights on Global Sovereign Debt at AIM Summit

At the AIM Summit, David Gibson-Moore chaired an exclusive roundtable with Kevin McCarthy, the 55th Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. The session focused on “The State of Global Sovereign Deficit and its Impact on the Global Economy,” offering valuable insights into today’s complex financial and geopolitical environment.

Two major themes emerged during the discussion. The first was the growing impact of political polarization across Western democracies, which continues to challenge effective governance and economic stability. The conversation emphasized the importance of collaboration, balanced leadership, and policy alignment to address these issues.

The second theme was the concept of the “EM-ification” of the United States, reflecting similarities with emerging markets. While the U.S. benefits from strong resources, innovation, and growth potential, it also faces challenges such as political volatility and institutional pressures that may influence long-term economic confidence.
