Overall risks to financial stability are largely unchanged, but household vulnerabilities have moved higher

Media Relations Ottawa, Ontario

The Bank highlights three vulnerabilities in the financial system: the elevated level of household indebtedness, imbalances in some regional housing markets and the fragility of liquidity in fixed-income markets.
