Canadian lender Scotiabank has seen cash roll in from its expanded international operations, but is now also more vulnerable to an upset in external credit markets.

At end-January, 42% of Scotiabank’s total risk-weighted assets (RWAs), equivalent to C$171.6 billion ($130.3 billion), were attributable to its international banking division, up from 36%, or C$135.7 billion, the year-ago quarter.
