### Overview
- The IMF’s Global Financial Stability Report documents that the near-term global financial stability risks have receded and disinflation is entering its last mile, while detailing several salient risks and a build-up of medium-term vulnerabilities.
- The report assesses vulnerabilities and potential risks to financial stability in corporate private credit, described as a rapidly growing asset class that now rivals other major credit markets in size.
- The IMF Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific hosted a hybrid seminar with the lead authors of the report to discuss these issues.
