Spectre of Mario Draghi haunts proceedings at World Economic Forum

Conversations at Davos typically focus on the thousands of wealthy and powerful folk who trek to the Alps every January for the World Economic Forum.

This year, much of the chatter is about a man who won’t be making the trip: Mario Draghi. Call him the ghost of Davos 2015.

Mr Draghi is skipping the forum for the first time since he became president of the European Central Bank in 2011, and with good reason.
