The first deputy managing director of the IMF tells CNBC that with global risks finely balanced, policymakers must take care to 'do no harm.'
The IMF's David Lipton has told CNBC that the current swing to a dovish tone from global central banks should not lead investors to believe that market volatility will just disappear.
"It is correct for capital markets to take their cue from central banks but I think they shouldn't assume that volatility has gone forever just because central banks are in an accommodative posture," said Lipton at the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group in Washington D.C. on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the general manager of the Bank for International Settlements said Thursday that asset prices are fairly valued right now and central banks won't create financial instability by continuing to adopt an easy money, low-rate environment.
