Although the globe's top financiers dwelt little on the conflict, speaking about topics such as artificial intelligence, the economic fallout of war combined with record debts as rates rise created a bleak backdrop. HSBC Group CEO Noel Quinn also warned of the perils of heavy government debts."I’m concerned about a tipping point on fiscal deficits," he said."When it comes, it will come fast and I think there are a number of economies in the world where there could be a tipping point and it will hit hard."
