, the IMF's baseline continued to be that global credit markets remain "in an orderly manner" and would not tip into a full-blown crisis on the scale of a "Lehman moment.""[Financial stability risks] are very elevated.

"So yes, we are in a very, very stressed moment, we do hope that we will avoid a systemic event. But the likelihood is certainly elevated at this point."
