ACL (Q2/21)
■ ACL on loans of $5.5 billion was down $389 million QoQ
■ ACL as a percentage of loans and acceptances of 0.79% was down 6 bps QoQ, but remains elevated relative to 0.53% at Q1/2020 reflecting the
ongoing uncertainty related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
■ The $260 million release of reserves on performing loans in Q2/2021 reflects improvements in our macroeconomic and credit quality outlook
- Though we continue to move along the forecast curve into recovery and vaccine distribution progresses, defaults continue to be temporarily
suppressed by government support programs
- The release of reserves on performing loans is primarily driven by Canadian Banking ($155 million), largely in the Cards and Commercial
portfolios, and Capital Markets ($87 million)
