すべき カナダの銀行システム である モデル のために 米国の金融システム再構築? はい, argues Canadian journalist テレサ·テデスコ で “グレート溶剤ノース,” her recent Op-Ed piece in the ニューヨークタイムズ.

“世界が逆さまになっています?” she asks:

アメリカ, the capital of capitalism, is pondering nationalizing a handful of banks. その間, カナダ, whose banking system had long been notorious for its stodgy practices and government coddling, is now being celebrated for those very qualities.

テデスコの書き込み, “The Canadian banking system, これを証明 resilient in the global economic crisis, is finally getting its day in the sun. A recent World Economic Forum report ranked it the soundest in the world, mostly as the result of its conservative practices. (米国は40位).

カナダでは, ここで、 “the five major chartered banks, the few regional banks and handful of large insurance companies are all regulated by the federal government,” Tedesco argues that, “ビッグファイブカナダの銀行 — Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank, ノバスコシア州の銀行, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Bank of Montreal — survived the recent turmoil relatively unscathed. Their balance sheets remain intact and their capital ratios are comfortably above requirements.”

多分, she concludes, “Since Mr. Obama seems to admire the Canadian banking system, his administration might want to take a page out of its playbook.”
