Morningstar DBRS Posts a Webinar Replay on 2025 Credit Outlook: Canadian Banking

Morningstar DBRS posted a replay of its 2025 Credit Outlook on Canadian banking presented by Carl De Souza, Senior Vice President, Sector Lead, North American Financial Institution Ratings and Shokhrukh Temurov, Vice President, North American Financial Institution Ratings.

The overall F2025 credit rating outlook for the Canadian banks is largely stable, as we expect monetary policy easing to provide some much-needed relief to indebted consumers and businesses. Although we expect further deterioration in credit metrics heading into 2025, an anticipated moderation in PCL in the second half of the year and a generally positive economic growth outlook in North America will likely result in improved earnings. However, the operating and macroeconomic environments still face some challenges with risks skewed heavily to the downside as a result of heightened policy uncertainty and geopolitical risks.
