Americas Banking System Outlooks
System outlooks remain stable in North America and mixed in Latin America
In this webinar, Moody’s analysts will discuss the drivers for maintaining stable outlooks on most global banking systems.
- Most global banking system outlooks are stable, as regional economies continue to recover from the pandemic-related downturn, despite heighted geopolitical risk
- Stable outlooks for banks in North America reflect improved operating conditions, higher profitability prospects due to interest rate rises, and broadly stable asset risk
- Banking system outlooks in Latin America are supported by solid buffers to withstand risks from prolonged inflation and moderate business activity, amidst political uncertainties and weaker economies
