The Financial Stability Board is urging a global overhaul of financial regulations, warning that surging valuations tied to artificial intelligence and the unchecked rise of private credit markets could pose mounting systemic risks. In a newly released report, the board emphasized that inflated AI-linked asset prices, fueled by investor hype and circular financing, mirror speculative patterns seen in past bubbles.
The group also spotlighted private credit as a growing blind spot for regulators. With more capital flowing through opaque, non-bank lenders, risks around leverage, liquidity, and borrower quality are becoming harder to monitor. The FSB is calling for coordinated international policy responses to prevent these vulnerabilities from destabilizing financial markets.

Investor Sentiment
Investors remain split on the potential consequences of the FSB’s warnings. While some see regulatory modernization as a welcome step toward stability, others worry it could stifle innovation and compress margins in both AI and private lending.
The report’s timing, coming amid ongoing volatility, may also accelerate defensive moves by institutional investors. With elevated valuations already under scrutiny, the prospect of tighter oversight is expected to drive a rebalancing toward sectors with more transparent risk profiles.
