DelhiDesk: Major banks and financial regulators in the US are preparing for a possible default on US debt, including holding meetings and setting up war rooms to plan for quick relief. Talks between President Joe Biden and Republican lawmakers on raising the $3.14 trillion debt ceiling have so far been unsuccessful. Without an increase in the debt ceiling, the US cannot borrow more money to finance its bills, which have already been approved by Congress. Economists warn that financial chaos could occur, leading to a steep rise in the cost of borrowing for companies and consumers, and a serious and long-lasting global economic recession.
