Source: International Monetary Fund

The International Monetary Fund’s Global Financial Stability Report of 22 October 2024 has a chapter on AI in capital markets. It expects AI use in trading and investment to grow, citing patent filings, and says AI could improve risk management and market liquidity. It flags faster, more volatile markets under stress, more opacity at nonbank institutions, dependence on a few AI providers and higher cyber and manipulation risk, and says authorities should consider further policy responses.

Why it matters

Securities regulators and central banks got an IMF assessment that AI-driven trading could make markets faster and more volatile under stress.
