  • maintaining adequate levels of capital to meet all applicable regulatory requirements;
  • reinforcing confidence in the safety and soundness of the Bank;
  • supporting growth in assets and liabilities; and
  • absorbing unexpected operating and investment losses and volatility.

As at the end of Q3 2025, the Bank complied with all regulatory capital requirements established by OSFI, and its internal targets as determined by its ICAAP.
