Financial Stability Report 2026
The Bank of Canada assesses that while the Canadian financial system remains resilient, vulnerabilities have increased due to elevated asset valuations and growing hedge fund leverage in sovereign debt markets. The report identifies three key emerging risks: persistent US trade policy uncertainty, escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and intensifying operational and market risks associated with artificial intelligence. Although individual shocks have been contained, the Bank warns that a significant event could trigger multiple vulnerabilities simultaneously, potentially causing a cascading loss of confidence and liquidity stress across the financial system.
