Canada’s top banks keep 3.5% capital buffer, stable amid economic uncertainty.
Canada’s financial regulator, OSFI, has kept the domestic stability buffer at 3.5% for the country’s six largest banks, citing strong capital levels and resilience amid ongoing economic uncertainties.
The banks’ average CET1 ratio stands at 13.6%, well above the 11.5% minimum, providing a C$60 billion capital cushion.
OSFI says systemic risks remain stable despite high household debt and trade-related credit pressures, and no changes to the buffer are planned, though a review is ongoing with potential new rules to boost lending in real estate and small businesses under public consultation.
