Canada’s financial system performed well in 2025‑26, according to the Bank of Canada’s Financial Stability Report. Households and businesses remain in stable condition, and banks have built stronger capital buffers. However, the report notes that stock and corporate‑debt values are high and hedge‑fund leverage in sovereign‑bond markets is rising, adding potential fragility. The Bank warns that a combination of global shocks—such as trade uncertainty, the Middle East conflict, or AI‑driven cyber risk—could amplify existing vulnerabilities. While individual risks appear manageable, the interconnectedness of the system could lead to a cascade of stress if multiple shocks occur simultaneously. The Bank will continue monitoring the situation and maintaining dialogue with domestic and international partners.
