Overview

The Global Financial Stability Report (GFSR) is published twice a year by the IMF 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.
The GFSR aims to deepen understanding of global capital flows, described as playing a critical role as an engine of world economic growth.
The GFSR is a key vehicle for the IMF’s multilateral surveillance alongside the IMF’s semiannual World Economic Outlook.
The report was created to provide a more frequent assessment of global financial markets and to address emerging market financing in a global context.
It focuses on current conditions in global financial markets and highlights issues of financial imbalances and structural issues that could pose risks to financial market stability and sustained market access by emerging market borrowers.
The GFSR focuses on relevant contemporary issues rather than attempting to be a comprehensive survey of all potential risks.
The report draws out the financial ramifications of economic imbalances highlighted by the IMF’s World Economic Outlook.
It regularly contains, as a special feature, articles on structural or systemic issues relevant to international financial stability.
