| | The recent news surrounding Scotiabank is a sign of the economic toll being felt across Canada. Scotiabank is being pulled in two directions - over-exposed to LATAM and under-exposed to attracting deposits compared to loans - causing their interest margins to suffer. On top of this, they have had to book provisions of $638 million, up from $222 million a year ago, due to increased odds of loan defaults in a rising interest rate environment. |
