The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is holding a press briefing on its latest Global Financial Stability Report, which examines risks and vulnerabilities in the global financial system.

The report assesses developments in global financial markets and identifies potential threats to financial stability, including risks that could affect banks, investors and other financial institutions.

It also examines how changing economic conditions and market developments could influence financial stability and the global economy.

The briefing features Athanasios Vamvakidis, Deputy Director of the IMF’s Monetary and Capital Markets Department; Jason Wu, Assistant Director; and Caio Ferreira, Deputy Division Chief of the department.

The three officials are expected to discuss the report’s findings and provide insights into the challenges facing the global financial system.

The session is moderated by Camila Perez, a Senior Communications Officer at the IMF.

The Global Financial Stability Report is one of the IMF’s key publications and provides an assessment of risks to the international financial system, complementing the institution’s broader analysis of global economic growth and outlook.
