The Federal Reserve's balance sheet has undergone significant changes since 2007, reflecting its response to major economic crises. From a modest 0.9 trillion U.S. dollars at the end of 2007, it ballooned to approximately 6.76 trillion U.S. dollars by March 2025. This dramatic expansion, particularly during the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic - both of which resulted in negative annual GDP growth in the U.S. - showcases the Fed's crucial role in stabilizing the economy through expansionary monetary policies. Impact on inflation and interest rates The Fed's expansionary measures, while aimed at stimulating economic growth, have had notable effects on inflation and interest rates. Following the quantitative easing in 2020, inflation in the United States reached eight percent in 2022, the highest since 1991. However, by November 2024, inflation had declined to 2.7 percent. Concurrently, the Federal Reserve implemented a series of interest rate hikes, with the rate peaking at 5.33 percent in August 2023, before the first rate cut since September 2021 occurred in September 2024. Financial implications for the Federal Reserve The expansion of the Fed's balance sheet and subsequent interest rate hikes have had significant financial implications. In 2023, the Fed reported a negative net income of 114.3 billion U.S. dollars, a stark contrast to the 58.84 billion U.S. dollars profit in 2022. This unprecedented shift was primarily due to rapidly rising interest rates, which caused the Fed's interest expenses to soar to over 281 billion U.S. dollars in 2023. Despite this, the Fed's net interest income on securities acquired through open market operations reached a record high of 174.53 billion U.S. dollars in the same year.

The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) maintained its position as Canada's most valuable bank by market capitalization, reaching 170 billion U.S. dollars in December 2024. Toronto-Dominion Bank held the second position with a market cap of 93.08 billion U.S. dollars, substantially lower than RBC but still significantly ahead of the third-ranked Bank of Montreal. Beyond its market value leadership, RBC also led Canadian banks in terms of total assets. What is market capitalization? Market capitalization provides a key metric for estimating a company's value, calculated by multiplying the share price by the total number of outstanding shares. This measure reflects investor sentiment: when investors perceive a company as undervalued, their buying activity drives up both share prices and market capitalization. However, prudent investors don't rely solely on market cap; they conduct thorough analysis of fundamental metrics, including balance sheet data and other financial indicators, to make informed investment decisions. In 2024, investor confidence in the Royal Bank of Canada was particularly evident, as RBC's share price reached unprecedented levels, setting new historical highs. Key banking metrics Banking institutions can be evaluated through multiple important measures, each offering distinct insights into their operations and market position. Total assets, analogous to a retailer's sales volume, provides a meaningful indicator of a bank's operational scale and market influence through the volume of funds under management. Revenue serves as a more direct measure of a bank's financial performance, reflecting its ability to generate income from its various banking activities. Customer base, perhaps the most straightforward metric, reveals a bank's market penetration and public reach. By this measure, both TD Bank and RBC emerged as Canada's dominant banking institutions, with the largest number of primary banking relationships.

In the last quarter of 2023, the debt to equity ratio in the United States amounted to 84.24 percent. Debt to equity ratio explained The debt to equity financial ratio indicates the relationship between shareholders' equity and debt used to finance the assets of a company. In order to make the calculation the data of the two required components are taken from the firm’s balance sheet. If the company is a publicly traded company then it is possible to make the calculation by taking the market value for both.The composition of debt and equity of an enterprise is much debated as is the influence that it is able to exert on the value of the firm. Nevertheless, it is important in helping investors such as banks to identify companies that are highly leveraged and therefore pose a higher risk. It is best explained by taking the example of an entrepreneur wishing to expand their operation and going to the bank for a loan. If this small business owner had total assets amounting to 120,000 U.S. dollars and liabilities (mostly loans) amounting to 100,000 U.S. dollars the bank to which the request is being made would first have to deduce the business owner’s equity; 20,000 dollars (total assets minus liabilities). With this figure the bank would proceed to divide total liabilities by equity, which gives the ratio of 500 percent. In other terms, this means that for every one dollar of equity the small business owner has 5 dollars of debt. He is highly leveraged and therefore represents high risk to the bank.
