AI risks in the global credit market
Fitch Agency has indicated that the artificial intelligence economy is among the most prominent short-term risk sources facing the global credit market. Potential risks are linked to market corrections caused by the AI boom and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East. Although the risk environment improved at the start of the second half of 2026, inflationary pressures resulting from rising energy prices and slowing U.S. consumption remain significant challenges. Additionally, constraints in public finances hinder governments' ability to respond to potential shocks. The investment surge in artificial intelligence and accelerated technological innovation have supported U.S. stock markets and corporate bond issuance, with an 18% annual increase in information technology investments, which contributed an additional 1.4 percentage points to U.S. GDP growth in the first quarter of 2026.
