The list includes countries in Europe
On Monday, January 13, the International Monetary Fund added Denmark, Finland, Norway and Poland to the list of countries with high financial risks. The financial systems of these countries should be regularly checked to prevent recurrence of the global financial crisis, as reported by EurActiv.
In 2010 the IMF has named 25 other countries that needed constant monitoring of the economy. The cause of instability was the financial crisis of 2008-2009, which showed how quickly the economic problems of one country can spread to neighboring countries and the world.
More than half of the 29 designated countries, according to the IMF, significantly affecting the world economy, are located in Europe.
Statement by the IMF based on long-term debt crisis in the euro zone that threatens the existence of the currency bloc. The IMF is trying to help the euro zone, directing billions of dollars to the weakest member states - Greece, Portugal and Cyprus.
In addition to this list, on Monday the IMF published a new methodology for the study of the economic situation. So, now the fund will not only compare the level of vulnerability of different financial institutions, but also study the relationship between the country and its banks.
