IMF says AI investment supports growth but warns leverage could amplify a correction

The IMF's October World Economic Outlook projects 3.1% global growth in 2026 and identifies continued investment in AI infrastructure as a major reason for the improvement. Its Global Financial Stability Report simultaneously warns that weaker AI profits or investment could trigger a correction in related assets, spill into broader markets and be amplified by leverage and forced selling. Reuters reports that hyperscalers now represent 10% of global investment-grade bond issuance, up from less than 1% in 2024. In the IMF's downside scenario, an AI-investment reversal could lower U.S. GDP by 0.8% directly and reduce output in Asian technology exporters by as much as 0.4% by 2028.
