Just looked at the Capital Requirements for Canadian Banks and their proposed new requirements. It seems that a Bank in Canada currently needs to have at least 65% liquidity of assets, with that amount set to rise to 72.5% percent by 2026. In other words, the Canadian Regulator is planning to tighten capital available for lending. A run on the banks could push these institutions below the liquidity requirement. Making funds unavailable for withdraws will only lead to loan defaults, possibly triggering a death spiral among assets of the bank, further damaging liquidity levels.
