The International Monetary Fund said in its Global Financial Stability Report that hedge funds should be watched more closely for their potential impact on macro-financial stability. According to the IMF, the rapid growth in global hedge fund assets could amplify price dislocations and liquidity strains. In severe negative shocks, those pressures could escalate into broader systemic risk. The fund said regulators should respond by improving data collection, strengthening risk monitoring, and putting prudent supervisory measures in place. The comments were cited by ChainCatcher in a brief report published on Oct. 6.
