- IMF raised its forecast for world growth this year while warning of risks from the AI boom and rising debt
- IMF said a potential AI share crash could threaten global financial stability and warned bond yields could see a 'disorderly' spike as debt and inflation risks worsen
Why it matters: The IMF is upgrading its growth outlook while simultaneously warning that two of its biggest tail risks — frothy AI valuations and swelling sovereign debt — could unravel that growth if they crack. A disorderly bond yield spike would hit debt-laden economies and emerging markets hardest, while an AI correction could transmit losses across the financial system.
