Bank of England Warns of Financial Risks from AI Investment and Market Vulnerabilities
The Bank of England's Financial Policy Committee (FPC) has highlighted rising financial stability risks linked to rapid growth in AI-related investment, much of which is financed through debt and private credit. AI-related debt issuance reached approximately USD 450 billion by early September, with projections estimating up to USD 4.1 trillion in AI-related capital expenditure financed by debt between 2026 and 2030. The FPC also noted geopolitical tensions, rising oil and gas prices, and interconnected vulnerabilities in financial markets as factors increasing the risk of a sharp market adjustment. Governor Andrew Bailey emphasized the need for cautious monitoring and potential future regulation of AI risks.
