RBC commits $1B to Canadian growth fund targeting defence and infrastructure sectors

Royal Bank of Canada is investing up to $1 billion in a new Canadian growth fund aimed at supporting domestic businesses and strengthening the country's economy. The fund will focus on critical sectors including defence and infrastructure. RBC estimates Canada requires $1.8 trillion in capital over the next decade. The initiative is designed to encourage Canadian entrepreneurs to seek funding domestically rather than abroad, whilst positioning Canada as a top investment destination. The bank's strategic focus on sectors vital to national security and long-term prosperity could attract additional investment in these areas. The move signals RBC's confidence in Canada's economic potential and aims to foster a more self-reliant business environment.
