Canada Seeks to Announce Founding Members for Global Defence Bank at NATO Summit
Canada plans to announce around 10 founding nations for a global Defence, Security and Resilience Bank (DSRB) at the upcoming NATO summit in Turkey, aiming to raise up to $133 billion in affordable financing to support allied defence. The initial members are expected to be mostly European countries alongside Canada. However, the announcement depends on final negotiations and capital commitments, with the project's success contingent on securing a triple-A credit rating. Talks with South Korea are ongoing, while other G7 nations have yet to commit.
