Bridging Canadian Business Lending and Market-Based Risk Measures

No 2019-26, Staff Analytical Notes from Bank of Canada

Abstract: Lending to business is central to economic growth because it supports investment by firms. Knowing how market participants view risk in the financial system can give the Bank of Canada information about future growth in business loans. In this note, we look at three market-based risk measures and find that sudden increases in the perception of risk in the Canadian banking system are associated with a weaker outlook for business loans and real gross domestic product.
