IMF warns of low interest rates 'risk' to economy

The International Monetary Fund has warned of new risks to global financial stability.

Low interest rates could lead investors to buy riskier assets as they seek better returns, the IMF says.

In a new report, it says there is a danger that this behaviour could derail the economic recovery, which the IMF has already described as "weak and uneven".

The report says the risks require "increased vigilance".

The IMF has already given its assessment of the wider economic recovery and is concerned about its lack of vigour.
