IMF warns of possibility of new global economic crisis
With global debt levels well above those at the time of the last crash in 2008, the risk remains that unregulated parts of the financial system could trigger a global panic, the IMF said in “Regulatory Reform 10 Years after the Global Financial Crisis”, as reported by The Guardian.
They say that much has been done to shore up the reserves of banks in the last 10 years and to put in place more rigorous oversight of the financial sector, but “risks tend to rise during good times, such as the current period of low interest rates and subdued volatility, and those risks can always migrate to new areas”.
The IMF adds that “supervisors must remain vigilant to these unfolding events”.
In the “Global Financial Stability” report, a dramatic rise in lending by the so-called shadow banks in China and the failure to impose tough restrictions on insurance companies and asset managers, which handle trillions of dollars of funds, are highlighted by the IMF as causes for concern.
