News Summary

  • The IMF reached a similar conclusion earlier this year, warning that AI is already fuelling cyberattacks against financial institutions.
  • Bailey flagged stretched valuations in AI assets, frailties in government debt markets, and rising leverage in equity markets.
  • The letter arrived before the G20 sessions rather than after them, which is the point of it.
