When applying this framework to Canadian data, we find that interconnections within the financial sector could amplify the direct effects of climate transition risk on financial entities.2024-01-15T15:00:53+00:00enMapping out the implications of climate transition risk for the financial system2024-01-15Flood risk and residential lending

We present key findings from the 2021 Bitcoin Omnibus Survey on Canadians’ awareness and ownership of Bitcoin. Most Canadians have heard of Bitcoin, which remains primarily used as an investment. Ownership jumped in 2021, reflecting increased savings during the pandemic and greater availability of user-friendly platforms to buy Bitcoin.2022-10-12T10:00:44+00:00enFive things we learned about Canadian Bitcoin owners in 20212022-10-12Assessing climate change risks to our financial system
