Summarizing the findings (see charts, pages 194-95) of the IMF's second Global Financial Stability Report, he noted that 'the near-term outlook in mature markets is largely free of imminent threats, mainly because the world economy has recovered and has helped build support also for financial markets.' However, emerging markets in South America have come under recent pressure. This report is designed to 'detect fault lines in global financial markets,' and a theme running through this issue is the uncertainty posed by the level and quality of corporate profits.
