The Global Financial Stability Report, published four times a year, provides timely and comprehensive coverage of mature and emerging financial markets and seeks to identify potential fault lines in the global financial system that could lead to crisis. It is designed to deepen understanding of global capital flows, which play a critical role as an engine of world economic growth. The report replaces the annual International Capital Markets, published since 1980, and the electronic quarterly, Emerging Markets Financing, published since 2000.
