International
Scotia Capital
Domestic: Continued strong growth in personal lending, particularly in mortgages and personal
lines of credit, combined with improved wealth management results.
International: Combination of organic growth and acquisitions have fuelled solid year over
year growth. Growth in assets, particularly in Mexico and the Caribbean partly offset by higher
loan losses in Mexico and a higher effective tax rate.
Scotia Capital: Record results with increased contributions from most businesses, buoyed by
higher client-driven activities. Scotia Capital also benefited from a benign credit environment to
realize continued net loan loss recoveries as well as interest recoveries.
