Overview

Global financial markets have demonstrated resilience amid an increasingly complex economic and financial landscape. Yet unresolved vulnerabilities and emerging risks continue to challenge global financial stability.

Join CFA Society Singapore for an insightful session exploring key findings from the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) October 2026 Global Financial Stability Report. Focusing on two chapters, the discussion will examine risks arising from AI investment, inflation, and cybersecurity, alongside the opportunities and vulnerabilities associated with tokenisation.

Chapter 1: Beneath the Resilience: Rising Risks, Unresolved Vulnerabilities

  • AI Investment Risks: Weaker or less sustained investment and profitability in artificial intelligence could lead to a correction in AI-related asset prices, potentially amplified by rising leverage and concentrated exposures.
  • Inflation and Sovereign Bond Yields: Resurgent inflation or fiscal concerns could drive a sharp rise in sovereign bond yields, with potentially repercussions across financial markets.
  • Cybersecurity Threats: Increasingly sophisticated cyber threats pose growing risks as finance services become more digital and interconnected.

Chapter 3: Scaling Tokenisation: New Efficiencies, New Vulnerabilities

  • The Potential of Tokenisation: Explore how tokenisation could transform financial markets, bringing new efficiencies alongside new vulnerabilities.
  • Constraints on Market Development: Tokenised markets remain small and fragmented. Their development depends partly on addressing four interrelated constraints: legal certainty, regulatory clarity, interoperability and the availability of settlement assets.

Note: This event has limited seating. Admission is on a first come, first serve basis.
