- Housing Market—With Canadian interest rates expected to continue rising through to 2020 and more stringent mortgage regulations on the horizon, a more anemic demand for mortgages is forecast over the next several years, weighing on the banking sector’s profitability.
- Workforce Composition—Banks are responding to emerging fintech competition by hiring more IT workers to upgrade the banks’ technological infrastructure.
