Fitch Identifies AI Boom and Geopolitical Tensions as Key Global Credit Risks
Ratings agency Fitch has identified the rapid growth in artificial intelligence (AI) investment and soaring technology valuations as major global credit risks, warning of a potential market correction similar to the dotcom era. The agency's third-quarter Global Risk Outlook highlights two key near-term risks: vulnerability to an AI-driven market downturn and ongoing geopolitical tensions, notably the U.S.-Iran conflict. Additional challenges include pressures on emerging markets from rising costs and climate events, with highly indebted nations particularly exposed amid slowing global growth and inflation concerns.
