Purpose and Scope
- The Global Financial Stability Report (GSFR) is published twice a year by the IMF.
- Aims to provide timely analysis of developments in mature and emerging market countries and to identify potential fault lines in the global financial system that could lead to crisis.
- Seeks to deepen readers’ understanding of global capital flows, described as playing a critical role as an engine of world economic growth.
- Serves, alongside the IMF’s semiannual World Economic Outlook, as a key vehicle for the IMF’s multilateral surveillance.
- Created to provide a more frequent assessment of global financial markets and to address emerging market financing in a global context.
- Focuses on current conditions in global financial markets and highlights issues of financial imbalances and structural risks that could pose risks to financial market stability and sustained market access by emerging market borrowers.
- Does not attempt to be a comprehensive survey of all potential risks; focuses on relevant contemporary issues.
- Regularly contains, as a special feature, articles on structural or systemic issues relevant to international financial stability.
