As hedge funds play a bigger role in financial markets, countries should better monitor their borrowing and interconnectedness, and calibrate policies to underlying vulnerabilities. See our new blog: https://t.co/5B9JlnCR02

[IMF @IMFNews]

Hedge funds help markets function but can amplify shocks if stress hits. As their footprint grows, policymakers need more visibility into their borrowing, linkages, and cross-border risks to strengthen financial resilience. Read our latest blog: https://t.co/nNKpPbiJZz

Hedge funds have become major players in global finance. Their growing influence brings benefits, but periods of market turbulence can also expose vulnerabilities and amplify volatility. Find out what this means for financial stability in our latest GFSR chapter: https://t.co/8AkdUPz99v

WATCH NOW: New IMF analysis looks at how hedge fund leverage, crowded trades, and redemption pressures can amplify market stress and create financial stability risks.

Higher food and energy prices are a bigger burden for poorer families. Targeted support, not subsidies, can best protect them when inflation surges. See our latest blog for more.  https://t.co/HiQD0mOoW9

Cost-of-living crises hit lower-income households hardest. Governments often rely on broad subsidies and tax cuts, but new IMF research finds targeted and temporary transfers best protect the vulnerable while preserving fiscal space.

As we prepare for the #IMFMeetings in Bangkok, it is worth remembering that Asia now accounts for two-thirds of global growth. Sustaining that success will require a new playbook. An insightful piece by IMF’s Krishna Srinivasan in F&D magazine. https://t.co/4Sle5mNGXY

Tax cuts in major economies can reduce output elsewhere, as the effects of capital reallocation can outweigh the benefits from stronger import demand. See our new blog. https://t.co/B4Ryew065W

[IMF @IMFNews]

Join IMF’s Carolina Osorio Buitron, UCLA’s @KClausing, the @WorldBankGroup’s Pierre Bachas, and @TaxJusticeNet’s Andres Knobel for a discussion on how corporate tax changes spill across borders, shaping investment, revenues, and output across economies. https://t.co/QoIVbRJJIb

[IMF @IMFNews]

Tax competition & multinationals’ behavior are changing as anti-avoidance measures take hold. IMF analysis finds profits are now less responsive to tax differentials, while real investment is more responsive, suggesting profits could be realigning with activity. https://t.co/yoil3EB47M

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

Better debt tools help countries finance development while keeping vulnerabilities in check. The revised LIC-DSF sharpens assessments, better captures domestic debt risks, and reflects long-term development and climate pressures.

[IMF @IMFNews]

TOMORROW: Tune in on Monday, Oct. 5, 2026, at 9:00 AM ET as IMF economist, Carolina Osorio Buitron is joined by tax experts to discuss new analysis showing that tax competition remains a defining feature of the global economy, but its nature is changing.
