What happened
The International Monetary Fund warned that a correction in AI-related stocks and debt could set off market turmoil, according to comments made by Jason Wu during the annual meetings in Bangkok. The Fund identified AI risk, rising government bond yields, and cyber threats as three risks that could sharply tighten financial conditions.
Why it matters
The IMF noted that weaker or less durable AI investment and profits could trigger this correction, calling it a "wrong-way risk" in the sector. The Fund highlighted that a steep drop in AI investment could lead to a sharp fall in asset prices, potentially cutting global GDP by 1.1 percent by 2028.
Bangkok is hosting the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, which coincide with Asset World Corp's expansion plans in Thailand.
