Podcasts about global financial stability report

This podcast is an 11-minute reflection on the recently concluded IMF annual meetings, held at Washington DC. The meetings were characterised by relief over global economic resiliency, juxtaposed by heightened concerns about a variety of risks. Global growth is expected to remain stable between 2024 and 2025. Concerns about inflation have receded, but we caution against a victory lap. USD weaponisation and trade wars are causing investor strategies to shift. EM resilience would be tested by the outcome of the US elections. Intersection of AI and capital markets is generating interest from regulators. We discuss a chapter in the IMF's Global Financial Stability Report on this theme.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pedro Duerte Neves, Adviser for the Board of Directors and former Vice-Governor of Banco de Portugal, joins Taylor Pearce, senior economist, Economic and Monetary Policy Institute, OMFIF, to discuss the global financial stability outlook. Their discussion references the IMF's 2024 Global Financial Stability Report, and examines vulnerabilities and risks to the global financial system, including stretched asset valuations, burgeoning public and private debt and the growing probability of cyberattacks. The views and opinions expressed are those of the interviewee and do not necessarily reflect those of Banco de Portugal or the Eurosystem.

Hello, and welcome to episode 103 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I'm Chris Kirkbride. The busy weeks for financial crime continue this week. Some good news on sanctions from the EU for two designated oligarchs, as well as research on the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy.

From the US, there is interesting Covid-19 news with updates on fraud enforcement, together with a staggering story from Vietnam.

In recent weeks, a number of indicators have appeared that warn of impending financial trouble. Last week the International Monetary Fund released a new Global Financial Stability Report that warns that a series of cascading shocks endanger global financial stability.

The central bank of Ukraine is restricting cryptocurrency purchases abroad using the country's local currency. Private individuals can only purchase crypto using foreign currency up to the equivalent of $3,400 per month per month. The IMF published its latest Global Financial Stability Report this week – which outlines measures aimed at regulating the decentralized finance sector.

Just as many countries were beginning to feel the grip of the pandemic start to ease, another global calamity is threatening the recovery. In her customary curtain-raiser speech to the IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said the war in Ukraine has disrupted millions of lives and many aspects of the global economy.

As the New German Chancellor Olaf Scholz asserted in December 2020: “We must do everything possible to make sure the currency monopoly remains in the hands of states.”  As a response to Bitcoin, the major world economies are pilot testing CBDCs, and pressure is being applied to low and middle-income countries. In October 2021 the IMF stated in its Global Financial Stability Report that “Emerging markets faced with cryptoization risks should strengthen macroeconomic policies and consider the benefits of issuing central bank digital currencies.”  The privacy concerns emanating from CBDCs are being exacerbated by the same organisations promoting them; in another IMF statement in late 2020 they stated a person's online search and purchase history is a suitable data source for undertaking a credit assessment. In addition, the anonymity of cash is known to be an issue for governments around the world.  Whilst there are obvious benefits to enabling better payments processes to citizens, CBDCs could also facilitate state controls on how and when people spend money. The Bank of England is considering using smart contracts within a CBDC; the FT raised concerns about the potential for severe restrictions on personal freedom mirroring China's “social credit” system. As we have seen, these fears are no longer being seen as theoretical threats that don't apply to those living in western democracies. What is currently happening in Canada is giving even the most centred observers pause for thought. Bitcoin is the only obvious tool to provide freedom of currency denomination in a secure, trustless way, outside of the purview of Governments.  In this interview, I talk to the Author and Professor of Finance Nik Bhatia.

More than a year into the COVID-19 crisis, signs of a recovery for some countries are slowly beginning to emerge. But in her customary curtain-raiser speech ahead of next week's virtual IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said high uncertainty is one of the greatest dangers facing the global economy.

Many things can happen within the global financial system to disrupt financial stability, and the pandemic is testing most of them. Fabio Natalucci heads the IMF's Global Financial Stability Report, which analyses trends in the world economy and looks for potential vulnerabilities. The latest update identifies the uneven distribution of vaccines across the globe as one of those vulnerabilities, especially for frontier market economies.

Macro-econoom en BNR -commentator Kees de Kort ziet het IMF weer strooien met rapporten. Gisteren de World Economic Outlook waarin het zich vastklampt aan 2 lichtpuntjes en 10 kolossale minpunten negeert, vandaag het Global Financial Stability Report waar het op de risico's wijst, maar geen conclusies trekt.

While economies across the globe continue to feel the pressures from the pandemic, the latest Global Financial Stability Report shows the extraordinary fiscal and monetary policy measures taken by governments, Central Banks and International Financial Institutions have helped pull the global economy back from the brink.

Ira Pastor, ideaXme life sciences ambassador, interviews John Kiff, Senior Financial Sector Expert at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Financial Stability Division in the Monetary and Capital Markets Department. Ira Pastor Comments: So on past shows as we’ve been profiling many of the novel products and technologies being developed by industry, by academia, and by governments on the healthy aging and longevity front, we’ve also taken time to discuss a range of the traditional and novel funding pools emerging to support these programs, from traditional life science venture capital and private equity, to the public stock markets, to innovative prize models, such as UK Research and Innovation's (UKRI) Healthy Ageing Challenge program and the Healthy Longevity Global Grand Challenge of the U.S. National Academy of Medicine. Today, we are going to stay on this financial theme, but are going to head in a different direction, to talk to a thought leader who is asking the really big questions today, about what the future of global financial stability looks like, especially in a world where technologies may soon allow for "90 to become the new 50." That people are now living longer, due to science and technology, is very desirable and has greatly improved individual welfare. However, there are financial costs of longer life expectancy, for governments through employee retirement plans and social security schemes, for corporate employers with defined-benefit pension plans, for insurers that sell annuities, and for individuals without guaranteed retirement benefits. The financial implications of longevity risk (defined as the financial implications of people living longer than expected) are very large. It is estimated that if average life spans by 2050 were to increase only 3 years more than now expected, the already vast cost of aging would increase by 50 percent, with private defined benefit pension liabilities alone amounting to greater than $23 trillion. The International Monetary Fund (IMF)is an international organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., consisting of 189 countries working to foster global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability, facilitate international trade, promote high employment and sustainable economic growth, and reduce poverty around the world. John Kiff: John Kiff is a Senior Financial Sector Expert at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Financial Stability Division in the Monetary and Capital Markets Department. As part of this team since 2005, he is involved in producing the IMFS semi-annual Global Financial Stability Report, as well as focusing on OTC derivative market infrastructure, securitization, and longevity risk transfer markets. Mr. Kiff is also focused on fintech and digital asset policy issues, including producing the IMF’s monthly Fintech Update, and co-writing staff discussion notes on central bank digital currency. Prior to the IMF, John worked at the Bank of Canada for 25 years, where he spent most of his time managing the funding and investment of the government’s foreign exchange reserves. On this episode we will hear from Mr. Kiff about: His background; how he developed an interest in economics, in central banking, and how he became focused on the topic of longevity risk management. A general introduction to the IMF as well as its relationship with the World Bank. A general discussion about “Longevity Risk” and the tools of Longevity Bonds and Longevity Swaps. A discussion of some other novel financial instruments and strategies for managing Longevity Risk. His work in the areas of digital currencies. Credits: Ira Pastor interview video, text, and audio.

Het IMF publiceerde het Global Financial Stability Report en toonde daarmee weer eens te meer het eigen brevet van onvermogen. Want het IMF waarschuwt weliswaar voor te grote schulden, maar steekt de hand niet in eigen boezem. Geen woord. Geen syllabe over de verantwoordelijkheden van monetaire overheden die sinds 2010 een beleid van gratis geld hebben gevoerd.

De Brexitdeal zal nog niet zo'n vaart lopen, dus daar staat macro-econoom Kees de Kort liever niet te lang bij stil. Gelukkig presenteerde het IMF in Washington het Global Financial Stability Report. Maar om daar nu vrolijk van te worden: er zijn alleen maar risico's aan de onderkant. 15 duizend miljard obligaties hebben een negatieve rente. Iedereen gaat nu maar eens kijken hoe er nog te verdienen valt, lenen goedkoop en nemen daarmee nog meer risico's. De oplossing volgens het IMF: meer toezicht.

The Global Financial Stability Report exposes weak spots in the global economy that could amplify the impact of a shock, such as an intensification of trade tensions or rising corporate debt. Fabio Natalucci heads the team of economists who write the GFSR. In this podcast, Natalucci says if current trends continue, debt owed by firms unable to cover interest expenses with earnings, or debt-at-risk, could rise to $19 trillion.

A key objective of the IMF is to pick up on trends that could potentially compromise economic stability, and the Global Financial Stability Report is designed to help do just that. Fabio Natalucci heads the team of economists who write the biannual publication known as the GFSR. In this podcast, Natalucci says the latest report shows financial stability risks are higher than they were six months ago, due in part to rising corporate debt. Read the IMF BLOG Fabio Natalucci, is Deputy Director in the IMF's Monetary and Capital Markets Department.

The IMF’s Global Financial Stability Report is a weather vane of sorts. It’s main objective is to spot shifting trends that could pose risks to the global financial system. Ten years ago, a volatile market and the subsequent collapse of a Wall Street investment firm led to a financial crisis that affected economies around the world. In this podcast, Fabio Natalucci says while that crisis is now well behind us, some dark clouds are gathering on the horizon. Natalucci heads the team of economists who write the overview chapter of the GFSR. Fabio Natalucci, is Deputy Director in the IMF's Monetary and Capital Markets Department.

This week on CFTC Talks, we speak International Monetary Fund Deputy Director of the Monetary and Capital Markets Department Fabio Natalucci.  We discuss the findings of the IMF’s latest Global Financial Stability Report and what are the biggest risks to the global financial markets.  Italy, China and global trade are some of the topics we dive into.

Fabio Natalucci, Deputy Director of the Monetary and Capital Markets Department at the International Monetary Fund, discusses the April 2018 Global Financial Stability Report (GFSR). A bumpy road ahead could put growth at risk in the medium term, both because short-term financial-stability risks have increased, and because financial vulnerabilities have built up over the years. Natalucci discusses concerns that central banks may abruptly shift monetary policies by quickly raising rates, the ways in which financial markets have benefited from central bank communication, and the increasing challenges faced by policymakers.

The Global Financial Stability Report, or GFSR, is published twice a year and looks at the risks facing the global financial system. The objective is to prevent future crises by highlighting policies that might help mitigate some of those risks. In this podcast, the IMF’s Fabio Natalucci suggests investors stay attuned to risks associated with rising interest rates and protectionism. Natalucci heads the team of economists who write the overview chapter of the GFSR. The report also looks at crypto-assets for the first time.
