The financial services industry plays an important role in the Québec economy, both in terms of the number of jobs it provides and its contribution to the province’s GDP. Banks, insurance carriers, brokerage firms and equipment leasing lenders are some of the players, along with a large number of professionals, many of whom have specialized expertise, for example, fund managers, financial advisors and insurance agents.
Thanks to a stringent regulatory framework, an effective decision-making process and strict management, the Québec and Canadian financial systems are financially solid and successful, making them the envy of the world.
