Davos 2023: World Economic Forum to begin today

Davos is ready for the business and political elite that descend for the January 16-21 conference as the annual meeting in the Swiss ski resort reverts back to January.

The Swiss government will deploy as many as 5,000 military personnel to support local police. Air force jets will again circle above to enforce a no-fly zone.

WEF said on Tuesday (January 10) that a record number of business and government leaders will attend this year meeting.

Fifty-two heads of state and government will show up next to 56 finance ministers, 19 central bank governors, 30 trade ministers and 35 foreign ministers. Heads of the United Nations, International

Monetary Fund and World Trade Organisation will be among 39 leaders of international agencies.

Discussions are due to focus on short-term challenges like how to avoid the risk of a global recession in 2023 and how to ensure a failing global effort to tackle climate change is not set back even further by the energy crunch exacerbated by the Ukraine war and sanctions on Russia.
