IMF: Global Financial Stability Report

19 September 2004

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) published its half yearly Global Financial Stability Report. The report assesses global financial market developments with the view to identifying potential systemic weaknesses. By calling attention to potential fault lines in the global financial system, the report seeks to play a role in preventing crises, thereby contributing to global financial stability and to sustained economic growth of the IMF’s member countries.

Over the past six months, the global financial system, especially the health of financial intermediaries, has been further strengthened by the broadening economic recovery.
