Larry Fink, CEO of the world’s largest asset management company BlackRock, warned at the 2025 Forbes Summit that the U.S. will be “drowning” in debt unless ways to stimulate and develop the economy are found.

Fink pointed out that U.S. national debt has grown from $8 trillion in 2000 to $36 trillion now, and the upcoming tax legislation is expected to add another $2.3-2.4 trillion. He emphasized that if the U.S. cannot achieve a real growth rate of 3% per year, it will face a severe crisis.

Despite the severe situation, Fink still proposed solutions, including unleashing more private capital, simplifying permitting processes, rebuilding infrastructure, and addressing the anticipated shortage of 500,000 electricians. He stated that the foundation for growth still exists, but if the U.S. continues to hover around 2% economic growth, the national debt will eventually crush the country.
