Financial stability

Financial stability challenges are also prevalent in many emerging market economies. Bond markets are now more sensitive to changes in accommodative monetary policies in advanced economies because foreign investors have crowded into local markets and may withdraw. Emerging market fundamentals have weakened in recent years, after a protracted interval of credit expansion and rising corporate leverage. Managing the risks of the transition to a more balanced and sustainable financial sector, while maintaining robust growth and financial stability, will be a key undertaking confronting policymakers. Successful implementation of a complete policy package that features fiscal and structural reforms would reinforce domestic financial stability, while likely boosting capital outflows.
