Canadas major banks brace for potential loan losses as households grapple with economic pressures. Despite posting multi-billion-dollar profits, banks like Royal Bank, TD Bank, CIBC, Scotiabank, Bank of Montreal, and National Bank have boosted their provisions in the latest quarter.

Experts worry about more missed payments in a softening housing market, as home sales weaken and inventory rises. Interest rates remain at two point two five percent, but uncertainty looms due to unemployment trends and trade talks.
