The watchdog is made up of central bankers, regulators and finance ministers from the G20 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banks-insurers-and-funds-increasingly-intertwined\">Banks, Insurers And Funds Increasingly Intertwined<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The FSB flagged growing interconnectedness between banks, insurers, private equity firms and asset managers through credit lines, fund financing and strategic partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Interconnections between private credit funds and banks, insurers, and private equity firms are deepening, raising potential vulnerabilities,&#8221; the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The watchdog estimated banks have at least $220 billion in drawn and undrawn exposure to private credit funds, though it noted that commercial estimates suggest the figure could be more than twice as large. Though that is a relatively small share of banks&#8217; total CET1 capital, other linkages could heighten risks, the FSB said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>European lenders have recently disclosed sizable exposure to the sector, including&nbsp;<strong>Barclays<\/strong>&nbsp;at roughly $20 billion,&nbsp;<strong>Deutsche Bank<\/strong>&nbsp;at $30 billion and&nbsp;<strong>BNP Paribas<\/strong>&nbsp;at about $25 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deteriorating Credit Conditions Call For Scrutiny<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The FSB also warned about worsening borrower quality, especially in technology, healthcare and services sectors heavily reliant on private credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Some private credit borrowers also appear to be relying more on payment-in-kind loans, which can also signal deteriorating credit conditions,&#8221; the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The warning comes amid mounting stress in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/markets\/tech\/25\/12\/49475778\/oracles-10-billion-openai-data-center-bet-faces-fresh-doubts-after-financing-partner-pulls-out-is-the-deal-in-jeopardy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. private credit markets<\/a>, including rising defaults, redemption pressure at semi-liquid funds and growing scrutiny over software-sector exposure tied to AI disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FSB also urged national regulators to intensify oversight of banks and non-bank institutions involved in private credit, including closer scrutiny of valuation practices, liquidity mismatches and the use of private credit ratings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The watchdog called for better aggregation of exposures and more consistent loan-level data, warning that gaps in transparency could make risks harder to detect during periods of market stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted May 7, 2026 &#8211; <a
