Summary

Canada has a large and highly developed financial system. The banking sector is very concentrated, with six Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) accounting for 94 percent of banks’ assets. The nonbank financial institution (NBFI) sector is large and mainly composed of mutual and pension funds, and insurance firms. The financial sector oversight structure is complex, involving both federal and provincial agencies. The Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) takes place against the backdrop of weak economic growth, increasing trade tariffs, and heightened geoeconomic risks.
