Financial Stability Review 2025 I
"Risks and Outlook for the Financial System (June 2025)" (PDF 104.35KB)
Since December 2024, the risks facing the global
financial system have risen. Rising barriers to trade, and a sharp increase in
economic and trade policy uncertainty, have led to a weaker growth outlook and
higher market volatility. Ireland is particularly exposed to increasing trade
tensions and any associated external macroeconomic shifts, due to its economic
openness and high dependence on US FDI. As at early June 2025, domestic
economic conditions remain positive, although forecasts have been recently revised
downwards with higher downside risks.
A re-emergence of financial market turbulence might lead
to market losses and constrain firms and lenders dependent on market-based
financing conditions. A deterioration in economic growth could raise credit risks
of firms and households. The domestic banking sector has built up substantial
resilience over recent years, but may face greater exposure to credit or market
losses, if some of these risks materialise. This underscores the importance of continued prudent risk management and
ensuring financial and operational resilience across the financial system.
Further, cyber and climate related risks continue to be important sources of
adverse shocks. The NBFI sector – globally and in Ireland –
managed liquidity demands arising from the financial market turmoil in April in
an orderly manner. Structural vulnerabilities persist within parts of the NBFI
sector, however, highlighting the importance
of continued progress in strengthening the regulatory framework for the NBFI
sector at a global and European level.
