The financing aims to support liquidity and operations amid ongoing market volatility in the North American lumber sector. The loan enhances GreenFirst's financial flexibility as the company navigates challenging market conditions, including reduced demand and pricing pressures. CEO Joël Fournier said the funding strengthens the balance sheet and provides important liquidity during a difficult industry period. The Softwood Lumber Program was introduced by the Canadian government to support eligible softwood lumber producers facing adverse market conditions.

BMO expands covered-bond programme amid asset quality concerns and gold producer placement

Bank of Montreal has expanded its covered-bond programme to strengthen liquidity and increase asset-backed lending capacity. BMO Capital Markets will also lead a private placement for a Canadian gold producer, demonstrating continued capital-market engagement. However, the bank's prospectus lacks detailed disclosure on the asset pool backing the new bonds. Internal data shows loan-to-value ratios for commercial real estate have increased to 12%, whilst projected delinquency rates for the new pool could reach 3.4% under stressed conditions, compared to 1.8% for existing bonds. The gold producer's shares were priced 15% above recent trading ranges, raising valuation concerns. The expansion highlights questions about asset quality, regulatory capital impacts, and potential conflicts of interest in BMO's dual underwriting role. Stakeholders await transparent disclosure on collateral quality and capital ratio projections.
