PREMIER BRIEFING - What’s the Deal with the Debt Ceiling…

05/25/2023 03:30 PM - 05:00 PM MT

Location

BOK Financial Office
1600 Broadway
Denver, CO 80202
Room Number: 15th floor

Description

The debt ceiling - the amount that the federal government can borrow to meet its financial obligations - is a long-standing political hot potato, and it carries the potential of widespread economic chaos if it is not resolved.

Once again, Congressional leadership and the White House find themselves in a complicated stand-off over the debt ceiling and, while most experts expect some kind of temporary resolution before the deadline for default hits in June, ideological divides around government spending and deficits have never been more pronounced.

Join WorldDenver and Steve Wyett, Chief Investment Strategist at BOK Financial for an exclusive Premier Briefing and Q&A on the current state of play around the debt ceiling, its impact on global markets, and how it might affect your own financial decision-making.
