今天 BBC 的新聞:
在加拿大跟銀行辦房貸,如果貸款超過七成五,貸款人要自己出錢買保險。萬一貸款人還不出錢來,保險公司要賠給銀行。加拿大的銀行因此沒有要美國一樣陷入次貸風暴。
建議央行下一步可以參考參考...投資客辦房貸要買保險,還不出錢來,至少不必再用納稅人的錢去救銀行

"In Canada, you cannot over-mortgage your property. In fact if you are financing more than 75% of the value, you have to get insurance. Not for you but for the bank."
With that protection, Canadian banks have done well from mortgages. And with less exposure to toxic sub-prime mortgages in the US, Canada's six biggest financial institutions, headquartered on Bay Street in Toronto, survived the financial crisis disaster free.
