BNS•Framework published for future labelled defence issuances
Scotiabank published a Canadian Defence Issuance Framework to support future labelled defence issuances, including Canadian Defence Bonds.
- The framework sets eligibility criteria, governance, allocation and reporting for financing or refinancing activities tied to Canada’s defence, security and resilience priorities.
- It does not constitute a securities issuance.
- Sustainable Fitch issued an independent assessment, finding alignment with emerging defence-financing practices and a clear linkage to Canada’s sovereign capability objectives.
