However, Bloomberg
also notes that the Canadian Banking system has been rated the soundest in the
world for four straight years with no Canadian lenders needing a government
bailout during the recent recession and credit crisis, unlike the U.S. and
European banking systems, which remain precarious.
According to Canadian
banking industry figures, the percentage of mortgages in arrears in Canada
currently sits at .39 of one percent, hardly a red flag for loan quality in
Canada. Even still, there may be some additional tightening of Canadian lending
guidelines this year as cautious regulators see how badly the credit crisis has
damaged the U.S. housing market and their overall economy, and strive to avoid
anything like that in Canada.
