Governments everywhere are finding it more costly to borrow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The recent chaos on the UK financial markets has generated waves of stress and selling by investors far beyond the UK.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the sell-offs collide with high inflation, rising interest rates and the war in Ukraine, they have raised fears the turmoil in the UK could set off a wider crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many analysts have said they believe the fallout is likely to be limited, especially amid signs that the government is reconsidering some of its plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng was sacked on Friday<\/a>, and the government has dropped parts of the package of tax cuts that initially sparked the market turmoil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the episode has highlighted the financial risks of the current moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Markets are fragile. We have seen vulnerability that’s been building over the last decade-plus,” Fabio Natalucci, a deputy director at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), said earlier this week, describing the UK episode as a “warning shot”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“That fragility makes the financial risk much more elevated.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
