Growth in Core Businesses

RBC experienced growth across all of its core businesses, demonstrating the strength and resilience of its operations.

Capital Markets Segment

  • Net income in RBC’s capital markets segment rose by 57% to C$938 million.

Personal and Commercial Banking

  • RBC’s largest segment, personal and commercial banking, saw a 5% increase in net income to C$2.13 billion.
  • The growth was mainly attributed to higher net interest income, as well as increased deposits and loans.
